If a person suffers damage due to a tort that is partly their own fault and partly the fault of another, it is called "comparative negligence" or "contributory negligence," depending on the jurisdiction. In comparative negligence, the damages awarded may be reduced in proportion to the individual's share of the fault. Contributory negligence, on the other hand, may bar recovery entirely if the injured party is found to be even slightly At Fault.
