An
amateur
golfer
was
practicing
his
swing
with
a
new
golf
club
at
a
driving
range.
The
golfer’s
caddy
handed
the
golfer
the
wrong
club
—the
club
was
longer
than
the
golfer
expected.
As
he
took
his
back
swing,
he
miscalculated
how
far
back
to
swing
the
club
and
accidentally
hit
the
woman
in
the
stall
next
to
him.
The
woman
was
standing
too
close
to
the
barrier
that
separated
them,
failing
to
heed
the
safety
instructions
posted
by
the
driving
range.
The
woman
sustained
$10,000
in
resulting
medical
bills.
The
jury
determined
that
the
woman
was
60%
at
fault,
the
amateur
golfer
was
30%
at
fault,
and
the
caddy
was
10%
at
fault.
The
woman
brought
a
negligence
action
against
the
golfer
and
the
caddy
for
damages
totaling
$10,000.
The
jurisdiction
follows
the
doctrine
of
pure
comparative
negligence
and
applies
joint
and
several
liability.
What
is
the
most
the
woman
can
recover
from
the
amateur
golfer?
A
Nothing,
because
the
woman
contributed
to
her
own
injuries.
Q
B
Nothing,
because
the
woman
was
more
at
fault
than
the
total
combined
fault
of
the
defendants.
Q
C
$3,000.
