Answer:

Comparative Negligence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea behind comparative negligence is that if the aggrieved person was contributorily negligent to his or her injuries then he or she is liable for a proportional share of damages incurred upon him or her.

It is the process of splitting responsibility for paying the damages caused because of comparative negligence. This situation is also often termed as "apportionment of fault" or "allocation of fault."
