Answer: $240,000
Explanation:
Given that :
Frank's percentage level of fault = 20%
Guy's harbor percentage level of fault = 80%
Worth of lawsuit filed = $300,000
Going by the 50% rule comparative negligence principles; Guy harbor's liability of negligence will be calculated based on the percentage of fault assigned to the company.
Here, the fault assigned to guy harbor = 80%
Worth of lawsuit = $300,000
Hence, Frank will recover ;
80% of $300,000
0.8 × 300,000 = $240,000
