Proportionate liability is a legal concept that requires each party to bear the responsibility for damages they caused in proportion to their degree of fault or negligence. Therefore, if a party is found to be partially liable, they are only responsible for paying part of the damages relative to their share of the blame. This concept is also known as comparative negligence or contributory negligence. Due care refers to the level of care that a reasonable person would take in a given situation to avoid causing harm, breaking even refers to a situation where losses and gains are equal, and a tort refers to a civil wrong or injury caused by one person's actions to another person or property.
