The most popular form of comparative negligence in the US is the "modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar rule." Under this rule, a plaintiff can only recover damages if their degree of fault is less than the defendant's fault. If the plaintiff is found to be equally or more At Fault than the defendant (50% or more), they are barred from recovering damages.
