contributory negligence is a defense against negligence that allows both the defendant and the plaintiff to pay the price regarding the case. In other words, it is a partial defense of which both the defendant and the plaintiff share the blame.
Voluntary assumption of risk is when one accepts the risks they are about to take in a certain event and accept those risks. They then sign a waiver that agrees that both the one taking the risks agrees to, and the company or party providing the waiver offers a good standard of care.
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE - When both the plantiff and defendant share the blame of the situation because both are at fault.
For example: I'm in a situation dealing with contributory negligence. I'm the plantiff in court suing the defendant for damages such as injuries but I'm still paying for a certain amount of what is owed because I had a responsibility that could have prevented the defendant to injure me. The amount I'm paying is how much the court believes I am responsible for the problem.
VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK - There will be nobody to blame or to be at fault because of the plantiff accepting the fact that there is a risk / there will be risks. The plantiff fully agrees to accept any risks.
LIMITATION OF WAIVER FORMS - When someone is doing voluntary assumption of risk, that person can sign a waiver form. When the form is signed, the person who signed it is completely aware of any risks. Waiver forms do not fully block someone from suing though. A person could sue a company because they lack the standard of care.
For example: I go bungee jumping and sign a waiver form stating that I know there is a risk of my life. I could get a heart attack or feel sick while the jump is happening but I am taking that risk. I am fully aware of anything like that happening. Although if the employees who tie the cord for me tied it incorrectly and I fall down, I could sue the company because of they lack the standard of care. I should feel completely safe with the cords tied onto me other than the risks above (heart attack, feeling sick.)
