2. Contributory negligence refers to the action of the injured party alleged to have contributed for the injury to happen. Let’s say Andrew crossed the road and was hit by a car, but he failed to watch out if there are rushing vehicles. If he, as an injured party, file a motor vehicle accident claim against Simon (the car driver), the latter may claim that the former just stepped out in the front of the car and it was impossible to avoid the accident. Simon would be claiming that Andrew’s actions contributed to the accident happening or the injured party has contributory negligence. For example, if we look at the situation where Andrew is alleged to step out in front of Simon’s car, the defendant may claim that the fault completely rests with Andrew, so there is a claim of 100% contributory negligence. Whether the claim will prosper or not will depend on the circumstances of the road accident. Even in cases where there appears to be great risk taking on the plaintiff’s part, there could still be factors leading to successful pursuit of personal injury claim. As in our example case, just because Andrew stepped out into the road without being careful, does not mean that there is no chance to pursue a claim to be compensated for the injuries he sustained. It might be that Simon had enough time to see Andrew when he was walking, but he was also not careful enough to stop his car or maneuver to avoid the accident. Moreover, if Simon had been careful and attentive, then he might have stopped the vehicle to lessen the injuries sustained by Andrew. In this case, under Queensland Personal Injury Law the Queensland Court may determine the percentage of responsibility for the accident between the parties. For example, the Court may rule that they both contributed to the accident happening, and may apportion negligence against Andrew for 50%, while Simon may be ordered to compensate Andrew for the injuries but at a lower amount.
