imputed negligence : In some situations, the innocent victim of a concurrent tort, instead of being able to pursue both tortfeasors, may have the negligence of one imputed to him(because of a special relation between them) so as to impair his recovery against the other just as if he had been guilty of contributory negligence himself. 2, record 1, English, - imputed%20negligence

The knowledge that one will be denied compensation in whole or in part as a result of one's own negligence should spur one to use caution. This rule may be doubly influential because the negligence of a driver is often imputed to his passengers and his family. Thus, not only is the contributorily negligent actor waiving his own right to recover but he may also impede his friends and relatives from receiving full damages for their injuries. 1, record 2, English, - contributorily%20negligent%20actor

Un individu sera davantage porté à faire preuve de prudence s'il sait qu'on lui refusera une indemnité, en totalité ou en partie, dans les cas où les pertes résulteraient de sa propre négligence. Cette règle peut avoir une double influence parce que la négligence du conducteur est souvent étendue à ses passagers et à sa famille, Par conséquent, la victime négligente non seulement renonce à son propre droit à une indemnité, mais peut aussi empêcher ses parents et amis de recevoir une indemnité complète pour leurs blessures. 1, record 2, French, - victime%20n%C3%A9gligente
