- W834800184 abstract "This article reexamines in light of modern comparative negligence rules a century old rule of tort law originated by the Illinois Supreme Court in Galena & Chicago Union Railroad v. Jacobs.. The Galena rule assigns liability on the basis of comparative negligence with no apportionment of damages between the parties; the most negligence party pays all the damages. Such a rule of nonapportioned comparative negligence is Pareto superior to apportioned comparative negligence, traditional contributory negligence, and indeed, to any other modern or ancient tort rule, in that it provides a distinct and preferable mechanism for reaching social goals viewed as in nature. Using mathematical models of alternative tort rules, this article demonstrates that the Galena rule provides parties engaged in risky activities with incentives to prevent accidents whenever doing so is optimal. It never encourages prevention at a cost higher than that minimally necessary even when the least cost prevention method requires complementary efforts by the parties. In practice, it is easier to implement than the apportioned comparative negligence because it requires less complicated information and mathematical calculations by the parties and juries involved. This implies an increased likelihood of appropriate decisions by juries and appropriate behavior by individual parties. Moreover, the Galena rule operates on the basis of fault, thereby providing a moral basis for its acceptance. The article also offers mathematical models of pure and modified comparative negligence, demonstrating that they are likely to produce desirable incentives in the vast majority of cases and produce over- and under-deterrence only in unimportant cases. Because economic analysis identifies the implications of choosing a rule, this analysis is applied to other goals - compensation, fairness, and safety." @default.
