Question: 1 / 400

What is true about pure comparative negligence?

Allows plaintiff recovery only if their fault is less than the defendant's

Allows plaintiff to recover damages even if they are 100% negligent

Allows plaintiff to recover damages without any fault consideration

Allows plaintiff to recover damages as long as they are not 100% negligent

Pure comparative negligence allows a plaintiff to recover damages as long as they are not 100% negligent. This means that even if the plaintiff is mostly at fault for an accident, they can still recover damages, although the amount awarded may be reduced in proportion to their degree of fault. This contrasts with the other options:

A. This statement is incorrect because pure comparative negligence does not require the plaintiff's fault to be less than the defendant's for recovery.

B. This statement is incorrect because pure comparative negligence does not exempt the plaintiff from recovery even if they are 100% negligent.

C. This statement is incorrect because pure comparative negligence takes into consideration the plaintiff's fault when determining the damages to be awarded.
