Answer:
Motorist will zero compensation
Other party will receive 75% of compensation
Explanation:
The comparative negligence rule helps in situations where both of the parties were negligent. If one motorist is injured because of his fault and due to other one then the comparative negligence rule says that the percentage of negligence of each party will be determined. The person who is greater than 50% negligent, will not be able to recover his damages and will be barred from recovery whereas on the other hand if the person was not less than 50% negligent then he will be able to recover his damages caused by the accident in proportion to fault.
In this case, the motorist was 75% at fault which means that as per the comparative negligence rule, the motorist is barred from recovery and the net compensation would be zero for the motorist. The other party would receive 75% of his damage because this was caused by the 75% fault of motorist.
