    For more than thirty years, Comparative Negligence has been the leading text describing and analyzing how comparative negligence or comparative fault interacts with the full panoply of tort law, including strict liability, third party suits, joint and several liability, and more.

The new Restatement of Torts, Third: Apportionment of Liability cites this text throughout the Reporters¿ opinions as a key resource.
