Accident Claim Cases Digest

Difference between contributory and composite negligence

Contributory negligence – Composite negligence -- There is a difference between contributory and composite negligence -- In the case of contributory negligence, a person who has himself contributed to the extent cannot claim compensation for the injuries sustained by him in the accident to the extent of his own negligence; whereas in the case of composite negligence, a person who has suffered has not contributed to the accident but the outcome of combination of negligence of two or more other persons.
