Contributory negligence: a. can be a partial defense in product liability cases for negligence. b. is the same as comparative negligence. c. is no longer permitted as evidence in suits. d. none of the above

Contributory negligence can be a partial defense in product liability cases for negligence.

Option: A

Explanation:

In certain regions of jurisdiction of common law, contributory negligence is a safeguard against a negligence based allegation of torture. When eligible, the defense absolutely excludes claimants from any compensation when they respond by their own fault to their own damage. Thus it is a form of liability defense where the defendant may claim that a plaintiff has in some way participated to his own damages or liabilities. A complainant who is deemed to be "contributory incompetent" shall be disqualified from accepting an award of damages.
