Contributory negligence is not a good defense to recklessness, but assumption of risk is a good defense.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contributory negligence refers to the plaintiff's own negligence contributing to the harm they suffered, while assumption of risk refers to the plaintiff voluntarily assuming the known risks of an activity or situation. Recklessness is a higher level of fault than negligence, and assumption of risk is a defense that can be used against a plaintiff who knowingly and voluntarily assumed the risks of the reckless behavior. Contributory negligence is not a defense to recklessness because it is a lower level of fault and does not excuse the defendant's reckless conduct.
