Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Antonio sues Fred, Fred is most likely to use the assumption-of-the-risk defense. If contributory negligence involves failure to use proper care for one's own safety, the assumption-of-the-risk defense arises from the plaintiff's knowing and willing undertaking of an activity made dangerous by the negligence of another.
