The plaintiff will have a right to recover $60,000 and the defendant will have a right to recover $0. Because the plaintiff was less at fault than the defendant, he will be able to recover his damages reduced by the amount of his fault (40% of $100,000). Because the defendant was more than 50% at fault, she will recover nothing from the plaintiff in a partial comparative negligence jurisdiction.

In a pure comparative negligence jurisdiction, the plaintiff would have a right to recover $60,000 and the defendant $40,000; those recoveries would be offset against each other, leaving the plaintiff with a net recovery of $20,000. However, as discussed above, the result is different in a partial comparative negligence jurisdiction.

A substantial MAJORITY of states have adopted comparative negligence. Only a few states retain traditional contributory negligence rules.

a landowner to regain real property after being tortiously dispossessed

Most states today do not allow resort to "self-help"; one who has been wrongfully excluded from possession of real property may bring an ejectment action or other summary procedure to recover possession. Hence, the owner who uses force to retake possession is liable for whatever injury she inflicts. (In former years, under the common law, a landowner tortiously dispossessed of real property could use reasonable force to regain possession, if she acted promptly upon discovery of the dispossession.) An owner of chattel may use force to recapture the chattel. An owner may use reasonable force to recapture a chattel when in "hot pursuit" of the tortfeasor. A demand for return of the chattel must be made before force is used, unless the demand would be futile or dangerous. However, force can be used only against the tortfeasor or a third party who knows that the chattel was tortiously obtained. If an innocent third party has obtained the chattel, the owner is no longer privileged to use force to effect a recapture of the chattel. A citizen may use force to effect a misdemeanor arrest. However, the citizen is allowed to use only the amount of force necessary to effect the arrest and never deadly force. A property owner may use force to defend the property from tortious interference. Although a property owner may use reasonable force to defend property, she may not use force that will cause death or serious bodily harm. Furthermore, one may not use indirect deadly force such as a trap, spring gun, or vicious dog when such force could not lawfully be directly used, e.g., against a mere trespasser.
