Latin term meaning “to one who is willing, no harm is done.

” This doctrine holds that a person who

knowingly and willingly puts himself in a dangerous situation cannot later on sue for any resulting
injuries. Volenti non fit injuria is a defense in tort. If a person engages in an event accepting and being
totally aware of the risks inherent in that event, then such person can not later complain of, or seek
compensation for an injury suffered during the event.
