Contributory negligence, obviously. Although I do wonder if there's a 'contributory clumsiness' doctrine out there somewhere...

Contributory negligence, easy peasy. Although I have to say, the name makes it sound like a medical condition. 'Oh no, I've been diagnosed with contributory negligence!'

Exactly, it's a way to lessen the employer's liability if the worker was also at fault.

It's like saying the employer isn't fully responsible because the worker had a hand in causing the injury.

Contributory negligence, no doubt. It's a classic legal loophole that lets companies off the hook. Not cool, but expected in this kind of exam.

Contributory negligence, for sure. I remember learning about that in my worker's comp class. It's a way for employers to dodge responsibility.

I'm pretty sure it's contributory negligence. That's the one where the worker's actions play a role in their own injury, right?

That's right. It helps reduce the employer's responsibility if the worker played a part in causing the injury.
