Defenses to a Negligence Action

The video tutorial covers three legal doctrines: contributory negligence, comparative negligence, and assumption of risk. Contributory negligence prevents a plaintiff from recovering damages if they are even slightly negligent. Comparative negligence allows for damage recovery based on the degree of negligence. Assumption of risk blocks recovery if the plaintiff knowingly assumed the risk, with exceptions for those lacking mental capacity.
