Answer:

Contributory negligence.

Explanation:

Under the theory of contributory negligence, a person is prohibited from recovering damages for an injury if his own negligence contributed to the injury. Recovery is blocked even if a person was solely responsible for the injury. That is, if it is proven that because of the music and singing, Carissa, was responsible for at least 1% of her accident, she will have the recovery prevented from being released, because even though he was hit by a criminal, she contributed with the accident.
