George Has a Car Accident with Lijuan in New Mexico

Question 23

Multiple Choice

George has a car accident with Lijuan in New Mexico, where both of them reside. New Mexico is a comparative negligence jurisdiction. George is 60% at fault, and Lijuan is 40% at fault, according to the jury. His damages amount to $100,000, according to the jury's calculations. What, if anything, will he recover?


A) Nothing, because he was partially at fault and this is a comparative negligence jurisdiction.
B) Not more than $40,000, because he was 40% at fault.
C) Nothing, because this is a comparative negligence jurisdiction, and he needs to be only 50% at fault -- or less -- to recover anything.
D) $40,000, but he has to pay Lijuan $60,000, so he might as well not bring a lawsuit.
