harm if, but only if, it is a substantial factor in bringing about his
harm and there is no rule restricting his responsibility for it.
(2)The rules which determine the causal relation between the
plaintiff's negligent conduct and the harm resulting to him are the
same as those determining the causal relation between the

因果關係,係依同樣之法律規則。
defendant's negligent conduct and resulting harm to others.
§ 466. Types Of Contributory Negligence

(a) an intentional and unreasonable exposure of himself to danger
created by the defendant's negligence, of which danger the

請求賠償訴訟
第467條 阻礙向有過失之被告請求賠償
除非被告有最後清楚機會,原告之與有過失

害之賠償。
§ 468. Harm Not Resulting From Hazard Which Makes
Plaintiff's Conduct Negligent
The fact that the plaintiff has failed to exercise reasonable care for his
own safety does not bar his recovery unless his harm results from one
of the hazards which make his conduct negligent.
第468條 傷害非因使原告之行為有過失
之危險而致者
原告怠於行使合理注意以保護自己安全,並
未因而阻礙其請求賠償,但其傷害係因使原

§ 469. Violation Of Legislation Or Regulation
(1)The plaintiff's unexcused violation of a legislative enactment or an
administrative regulation which defines a standard of conduct for
his own protection is contributory negligence in itself if it is a
legally contributing cause of his harm.
(2)The rules which determine whether such an enactment or
regulation defines a standard of conduct for the protection of the
plaintiff, and when the violation will be excused, are the same as
those applicable to the defendant.

原告之唯一替代方式為致第三人受傷害危
險之行為者,為決定原告之行為是否與有過
失之應考慮因素。

Property
It is not contributory negligence for a plaintiff to expose himself to
danger in an effort to save himself or a third person, or the land or
chattels of the plaintiff or a third person, from harm, unless the effort
itself is an unreasonable one, or the plaintiff acts unreasonably in the
course of it.
第472條 為保護人或財產而致之危難
為避免原告、第三人或原告,第三人之土地
或動產受傷害之努力,而使原告暴露於危難

理,或原告於其行為過程為不合理者,不在
此限。
§ 473. Danger Encountered In Exercise Of Right Or
Privilege
If the defendant's negligence has made the plaintiff's exercise of a
right or privilege impossible unless he exposes himself to a risk of
bodily harm, the plaintiff is not guilty of contributory negligence in so
doing unless he acts unreasonably.
第473條 行使權利或免責之特殊權利而
致之危難
被告之過失致原告除非暴露自己於受身體
傷害之危險,其行使權利或免責之特殊權利

(d) 未經立法機關之法律或行政機關之規範
而有所規定,亦無法院之判決決定時,
事實審法官或陪審團適用於該案件事實
之標準。
§ 476. Functions Of Court And Jury
The respective functions of court and jury in determining the
plaintiff's negligence and the existence of the causal relation between
it and the harm necessary to bar recovery are the same as in
determining the negligence of an actor's conduct toward another and
the causal relation necessary to make him liable for a harm which
such other has sustained.
第476條 法院與陪審團之功能
法院與陪審團之功能,就決定原告之過失、
原告過失與受傷害為阻礙請求賠償所必要

過失係於被告之過失之前、之後或同時發
生,阻礙原告之請求賠償。
Topic 3. When No Bar To Action
§ 479. Last Clear Chance: Helpless Plaintiff

from the defendant's subsequent negligence may recover for harm
caused thereby if, immediately preceding the harm,
(a) the plaintiff is unable to avoid it by the exercise of reasonable
vigilance and care, and

and competence his then existing opportunity to avoid the harm,
when he
(i) knows of the plaintiff's situation and realizes or has reason to
realize the peril involved in it or

harm.
第十七A章 危險之(自願)承擔
第496A條 一般原則
原告就被告之過失或魯莽棄置不顧行為而
致傷害之危險自願承擔者,不得就該傷害請
求賠償。
§ 496B. Express Assumption Of Risk
A plaintiff who by contract or otherwise expressly agrees to accept a
risk of harm arising from the defendant's negligent or reckless conduct
cannot recover for such harm, unless the agreement is invalid as
contrary to public policy.
第496B條 明示之危險承擔
就被告之過失或魯莽棄置不顧行為而致傷
害之危險,原告以行為或其他方式,明示同
意接受者,除非該同意之約定違反公共政策
而無效,不得就該傷害請求賠償。
§ 496C. Implied Assumption Of Risk
(1)Except as stated in Subsection (2), a plaintiff who fully
understands a risk of harm to himself or his things caused by the
defendant's conduct or by the condition of the defendant's land or
chattels, and who nevertheless voluntarily chooses to enter or
remain, or to permit his things to enter or remain within the area of
that risk, under circumstances that manifest his willingness to
accept it, is not entitled to recover for harm within that risk.
(2)The rule stated in Subsection (1) does not apply in any situation in
which an express agreement to accept the risk would be invalid as
contrary to public policy.
第496C條 默示之危險承擔
(1)除本條第2項規定外,原告完全瞭解因被
告之行為或被告之土地或動產之情況,
而致其自身或其物受傷害之危險,但原
告自願地選擇進入或停留,或准許其物
進入或停留於該危險地區,依其情形顯
示原告有接受該危險之意願者,原告就
該危險範圍所致之傷害,無請求賠償之
權利。

因違反公共政策而無效之情勢,不得適
用。
§ 496D. Knowledge And Appreciation Of Risk

險。
§ 496E. Necessity Of Voluntary Assumption
(1)A plaintiff does not assume a risk of harm unless he voluntarily
accepts the risk.

defendant's tortious conduct has left him no reasonable alternative
course of conduct in order to
(a) avert harm to himself or another, or
(b) exercise or protect a right or privilege of which the defendant
has no right to deprive him.
第496E條 自願承擔之必要

害;或
(b) 行使或保護被告無權剝奪之權利或
免責特殊權利;
則原告非自願承擔危險。
§ 496F. Violation Of Statute

violation of a statute, unless such a result would defeat a policy of the
statute to place the entire responsibility for such harm as has occurred
upon the defendant.
第496F條 成文法之違反
原告之承擔危險阻礙原告因被告之違反成
文法而作之請求賠償。但如此種結果將使成

negligence barring his recovery for bodily harm caused to him by the
negligence of the defendant.

he does an act or intentionally fails to do an act which it is his duty to
the other to do, knowing or having reason to know of facts which
would lead a reasonable man to realize, not only that his conduct
creates an unreasonable risk of physical harm to another, but also that
such risk is substantially greater than that which is necessary to make
his conduct negligent.

determine the actor's liability to another for reckless disregard of
the other's safety are the same as those which determine his
liability for negligent misconduct.

another's safety rather than merely negligent is a matter to be taken
into account in determining whether a jury may reasonably find
that the actor's conduct bears a sufficient causal relation to
another's harm to make the actor liable therefor.
第501條 魯莽棄置他人安全於不顧之行
為之責任

於不顧之行為,而非僅為過失行為者,
為決定陪審團是否得合理地發現行為人
之行為有致他人受傷害之因果關係而使
行為人對之負責,所應列入考慮之因素。
§ 502. Reckless Disregard Of One's Own Safety
The factors which determine when the conduct of an actor is in
reckless disregard of another's safety are applicable to determine
whether the actor's conduct is in reckless disregard of his own safety.
