Modified comparative negligence. If the claimant is equally or more at fault, they may not recover. 14 M.R.S. § 156. If the plaintiff is entitled to recovery, the jury must first compute the total damages. Then, the jury is required to reduce the total damages as they think is “just and equitable” in light of the claimant’s share in responsibility. Note that this does not mean the damage allocation must mirror the calculation of fault.
