Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The partial comparative negligence doctrine allows a plaintiff to recover damages even if they were partially responsible for their own injuries, as long as their responsibility is less than 50 percent. The other options are not directly related to this concept. Contributory negligence bars recovery if the plaintiff was even slightly responsible for their own injuries, the merchant protection statute provides immunity for merchants in certain situations, and the attractive nuisance doctrine deals with the liability of property owners for injuries to children caused by attractive but dangerous conditions on their property.
