Practical Application Of Comparative Negligence: Impacting The Liability Evaluation

"Comparative negligence, called non-absolute contributory negligence outside the United States, is a partial legal defense that reduces the number of damages that a plaintiff can recover in a negligence-based claim, based upon the degree to which the plaintiff's negligence contributed to cause the injury.

The book includes six sections:

1.Comparative Negligence Definitions by State

2.Legal Terms & Doctrines

3.Claims Investigation

4.Liability Evaluation & Negotiations

5.Practical Application of Comparative Negligence

6.Illustrated Auto and General Liability Claim Examples Explaining the Basis for Comparative Negligence

In this book, we introduce a comparative negligence evaluation method called the Liability Factor Point System©. This practical liability evaluation approach involves preparing a chart of the individual liability factors impacting each party and then applying weighted points to each factor impacting the liability evaluation."
