Sarah is playing with a basketball on the stairs at Bob's house. In doing so, she trips, falls, and breaks her leg. She files a claim against Bob's insurance company for her injuries. The adjuster determines that Sarah was 50% responsible for her own injuries, and therefore should only receive indemnification for 50% of her medical bills. What defense of the claim is the adjuster using?

Comparative negligence

Explanation:

Comparative negligence is a rule of law used to share cost of damages citing the negligence of both members involved.

In comparative negligence, when an accident happens, the negligence of both members involved is thoroughly analyzed. In this case, the blame and payment for damages are shared to the members involved based on their contributions in the accident. It is allocated as a percentage.

In this case, the adjuster used comparative negligence as defense of claim, because Sarah was partly at fault for her injuries.
