Contributory Negligence in Personal Injury Claims

A contributory negligence defence can be brought when the defence considers that a claimant’s injury was partly their own fault. Contributory negligence is a partial defence that can reduce costs payable in personal injury cases.

This microlearning outlines the key section of the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945, as well as highlighting the most pertinent case law.

Through videos, a realistic scenario and knowledge checks, this module harnesses AI and avatars to keep you engaged and aid information retention.
