This is especially useful in cases involving railroad injuries when the inability of an organization to maintain or repair its equipment could be considered to be an element that contributed to the worker's injuries.
Three types of comparative negligence are found in the United States: modified, pure and contributory. While all three are applicable in some way, the most popular is the modified method.
Under the modified comparative negligence system that applies to injured parties, they can recover monetary damages as long as their percentage of fault is not more than 50% or exceeds the fault of a different defendant or group of defendants. This rule is not applicable to personal injury claims in many states.

Pure comparative negligence is a standard in all states, whereas the concept of contributory negligence that is only recognized by five states. This law allows an injured person to claim compensation even if they're determined to be 99% responsible. It is known as pure comparative negligence in New York. Only thirteen other states have it.
