Robert was skiing when the boat driver abruptly stopped. Because the driver had weak ski-cords, and because Robert didn't secure himself well enough to his skis, Robert fell, breaking his leg and arm.

 | |  |
| Oh, man....I have to sue! | |
 | |  |
|
|

|
Robert sues in court, the driver claims comparative negligence because Robert didn't secure his skis. He wins...but with a catch.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| $100,000? I can't believe it! | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| But, because your skis weren't secured, the court finds you 30% responsible. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
This makes Robert only gain $60,000, with comparative negligence on his part causing the damages to be lower.

 |
| | |
| That's just how it is.... | |
