Answer:

c. contributory negligence

Explanation:

Negligence occurs when a party does not do what is required of him in a given situation. It is being careless with one's responsibility.

Contributory negligence is when one does not show sufficient care for himself or is acts in such a way that contributes to an accident.

If a defendant is able to prove contributory negligence in the case of an accident the plaintiff will not be able to recover any damages.

For example if one enters a busy road when a green light for cars was on and there is an accident. He put himself in harm's way and will not be able to claim damages because he has contributory negligence

xeze [42]

Answer:

The doctrine of contributory negligence is followed in most states is false.

Explanation:

Contributory negligence is a doctrine of common law that if a person was injured in part due to his/her own negligence, that is his/her negligence contributed to the accident, the injured party would not be entitled to collect any damages (money) from another party who supposedly caused the accident.

And historically, contributory negligence was the rule in all states, leading to harsh results. Many states now developed and adopted comparative negligence laws. Today, the jurisdictions that still use contributory negligence are few.
