Question

After a power outage, the stoplights at a busy intersection were blinking red for traffic going in every direction. By statute, motorists must come to a full stop at a blinking red traffic signal before proceeding through the intersection. Cars driven by the plaintiff and by the defendant arrived at the intersection at the same time. Due to inattention, neither one stopped for the signal and the cars collided in the intersection. The plaintiff sued the defendant for his injuries. The trier of fact determined that the plaintiff was more at fault than the defendant. Will the plaintiff likely recover damages

Answer 1

The plaintiff still has a possibility of procure judgement that will allow him recover damages although the plaintiff was more at fault than the defendant. Through the account of the plaintiff's first impression of the defendant's negligence, he can establish a case against the defendant, and given that jurisdiction of comparative negligence does not prevent the plaintiff from seeking recovery, though the defense from defendant is that the plaintiff is a contributor to the negligence which was the cause of the incident

Whereby the damage suffered by the plaintiff is more than the damage suffered by the defendant, the plaintiff can likely recover damage although the he the plaintiff is at more fault
