Description
1. "Contributory negligence and assumption of risk are not identical. The essence of contributory negligence is carelessness;
of assumption of risk, venturousness. Knowledge and appreciation of the danger are necessary elements of assumption of risk.
Failure to use due care under the circumstances constitutes the element of contributory negligence." Syllabus Point 5, Spurlin
v. Nardo, 145 W.Va. 408, 114 S.E.2d 913 (1960). 2. A plaintiff is not barred from recovery by the doctrine of assumption of risk unless his degree of fault arising therefrom
equals or exceeds the combined fault or negligence of the other parties to the accident.
