Under the doctrine of contributory negligence, how much will a pedestrian recover if found 20% responsible for an accident?

Under the doctrine of contributory negligence, if a person is found to have any degree of fault in causing an accident, they may be barred from recovering any damages from another party involved in that accident. In this scenario, if a pedestrian is determined to be 20% responsible for the accident, they would not be able to recover any compensation. The principle behind this doctrine is that individuals who contribute to their own harm should not be able to seek damages from others. This strict approach is applied in jurisdictions that follow contributory negligence rules, meaning that even a small percentage of fault can result in a complete loss of recovery.
