Under a "pure" comparative negligence rule, Gina could recover damages from Homestyle regardless of the degree of fault on each party. This means that Gina could recover damages even if she was more at fault than Homestyle. The damages awarded would be reduced proportionately to the percentage of fault assigned to Gina.
