Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the "50% Bar Rule" or "Modified Comparative Fault - 50% Bar Rule" system, a plaintiff is barred from recovering any damages if their own fault is determined to be equal to or greater than 50%. This is a type of mixed comparative negligence system where the plaintiff's recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault, except when their fault exceeds 50%.
