Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the "50 percent rule" comparative negligence principle, if a plaintiff is more than 50 percent at fault, they cannot recover anything. In this case, Frank is found to be 20 percent at fault, which means he can still recover damages, but his recovery will be reduced by his percentage of fault, which is 20 percent. Therefore, Frank can recover 80 percent of the $500,000, which is $400,000.
