nm · 1981 · cited in 3 New Mexico opinions naming this issue, 1988–1993
2 sentences

1993The basic premise underlying our Supreme Court's adoption of the doctrine of comparative negligence was to ameliorate the all-or-nothing doctrine of contributory negligence and replace it with a more equitable system in order to accomplish "(1) apportionment of fault between or among negligent parties whose negligence proximately causes any part of a loss or injury, and (2) apportionment of the total damages resulting from such loss or injury in proportion to the fault of each party." Id.

1992As observed by our supreme court in Baxter v. Noce, 107 N.M. 48, 51 , 752 P.2d 240, 243 (1988), "[i]n adopting the doctrine of comparative negligence, we supplanted the all-or-nothing bar of contributory negligence and subjected the doctrine of assumption of risk and other concepts based on the claimant's negligence to a comparative negligence analysis." Thus, we conclude that the doctrine of comparative negligence is applicable to claims brought under the Act where both the skier and the ski area operator are alleged to have breached statutory duties. 3.
