Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are some cases in which plaintiffs in negligence suits have voluntarily exposed themselves to a known danger created by another's negligence. Such plaintiffs have assumed the risk of injury and are barred from recovery. The plaintiff must fully understand the nature and extent of the risk to be held to have assumed it. Thus, a court would regard this as assumption of risk.
