Comparative negligence is a legal principle used in tort law to determine the degree of fault of each party involved in an accident or injury. In cases of comparative negligence, the court will assess the actions and behaviors of each party to determine the percentage of fault each party bears for the accident. This percentage is then used to calculate the amount of compensation that each party is entitled to receive. The goal of comparative negligence is to ensure that each party is held accountable for their actions, and that damages are distributed fairly based on the level of fault of each party involved.
