Allen sustained serious injuries in an automobile accident. He has brought a lawsuit against the driver of the other car. The jury in the case determined that the driver of the other car (the defendant) was negligent, and that the total amount of damages was $120,000. The jury also determined that Allen's own negligence was a factor in the case, and that Allen was 10% contributorily negligent. Under the laws of most states this would mean that Allen would be able to recover what amount from the defendant?

    I believe that since Allen was 10 percent contributorily negligent that he is only able to receive 90 percent since it is part of his fault.

    Explanation:

    Allen was 10 percent contributorily negligent which means that he only receives the other part that he is not responsible for.
