Flo is not wearing any safety gear. In Flo’s product liability suit against Girder, the company can most successfully raise the defense of __________.A. preemption. B. inadequate warning.
C. comparative negligence.
D. product misuse.
Answer: The correct answer is "C. Comparative negligence."
Explanation: In Flo’s product liability suit against Girder, the company can most successfully raise the defense of comparative negligence.
The comparative negligence defense can be used successfully because although the company is guilty of the accident, Flo is somewhat guilty in the fact that I do not use any corresponding safety equipment.
In common law, comparative negligence is a legal defense used to try to share the blame of causing an accident or aggravating the injuries resulting from an accident.
In this case, the company cannot claim that it wasn't negligent by selling a defective beam, but it can claim that Flo's injuries were aggravated by the fact that she didn't use protective gear. So she should partially share the blame of her injuries.
