Emily was driving her car 15 miles over the speed limit near a busy intersection in a major Missouri city. Brad, a South Carolina resident who was visiting Missouri on a business trip, was driving his own car and accidentally drove through a red traffic light and crashed into Emily’s vehicle which caused serious injuries to both cars and both drivers. Emily sues Brad in a Missouri state court alleging his negligent driving (running the red light) caused her damages. Brad files a counterclaim against Emily alleging that her negligent driving (she was speeding, after all) is what led to the accident. The jury in the case finds that because both parties were negligent in causing the accident neither of them are able to recover anything in the lawsuit. Because the result of the case is that neither party can recover any damages, the jurisdiction in which this trial took place likely has what sort of comparative negligence law in place?
