About contributory negligence
Contributory negligence is the legal term for conduct that falls short of the standard of caution that one should use for their own good and results in their own harm or loss. A common defence to a negligence claim is the plaintiff's contributory negligence.
Typically, when a defendant is sued for negligence, the plaintiff will allege contributory negligence. After that, the defence may accuse the plaintiff of contributing to their own negligence.
Contributory negligence is a defence to a tort suit based on negligence in some common law jurisdictions. If it is possible, the defence completely prevents plaintiffs from receiving any compensation if they are negligently responsible for their own injury.
