If a police agency or police officer is being sued for negligence for a vehicle accident because they failed to signal a lane change while the officer was driving (in a non-emergency situation and not involved in any pursuit) which caused another driver to run off the road, and the plaintiff eventually receives only 10% of their proven damages at the end of the lawsuit because there was evidence that they were speeding and could have avoided the situation but for their high rate of speed then:
The police officer owed no duty of care to the other driver
The state in which the trial occurred has adopted the comparative negligence defense
There is no breach of the duty owed by the police officer to the plaintiff in this case
The state in which the trial occurred still applies the doctrine of contributory negligence defense
