Show Notes
We are starting something new on our podcast - by looking back at our catalogue and re-releasing our earlier episodes for a refresher on these concepts. Don't worry, every other episode will still be a brand new one, but in between, we'll release these refreshers. This week, we're going all the way back to the very beginning, to our very first episode called, "Comparative v. Contributory Negligence." We hope this helps provide a refresher, and that you'll look forward to our completely new episode in two weeks!

How does the type of negligence recognized in your state affect the outcome of your subrogation claim? If you are in a comparative negligence jurisdiction, will your claim be barred, or merely reduced? What even is contributory negligence? Join Rebecca and Steve as they work their way through these different negligence types, and explain how the jurisdiction's treatment of negligence can impact your claim.
