What is the difference between contributory negligence and comparative negligence? Why have so many states adopted comparative negligence?
Contributory negligence is a failure of a plaintiff to exercise reasonable care and that legally causes the plaintiff's harm. It is normally a complete bar to the plaintiff's recovery. Comparative negligence is a more recent doctrine that allows a jury to apportion fault between parties. States have adopted comparative negligence to avoid the harshness of the contributory negligence doctrine.
