It means that at the end of a case or a trial, they’ll award percentages for fault. So, if you’re speeding and someone’s hitting the street and they’re not in a crosswalk, the jury will determine what percentage of fault is on the driver versus the pedestrian for one, the driver speeding, and two, the pedestrian being outside of the crosswalk. Comparative negligence means the percentages of fault are determined by a jury or a judge.
