Contributory negligence. See under Contributory.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Neglect; inattention; heedlessness; disregard; slight.
Usage: Negligence, Neglect. These two words are freely
interchanged in our older writers; but a distinction
has gradually sprung up between them. As now generally
used, negligence is the habit, and neglect the act, of
leaving things undone or unattended to. We are
negligent as a general trait of character; we are
guilty of neglect in particular cases, or in reference
to individuals who had a right to our attentions.
[1913 Webster] |

Contributory negligence (Law), negligence by an injured
