Date: September 19th, 2018 3:51 PM Author: mint provocative newt lookup comparative negligence. imagine a dog bite scenario where a neutral factfinder would conclude that P and D are both partially at fault for what occurred (say, 50-50%). so if P suffered $1mm in damages, P would be awarded $500k under a comparative negligence standard. but if both are repped by the same attorney then the attorney would be incentivized to get D to admit to 100% liability. this would be unfair to the insurer. people wouldn't be able to get insured if that was the system we had.
