    The doctrine of the last clear chance states that a plaintiff's contributory negligence will not bar their negligence claim if the defendant had the last opportunity to avoid the harm through reasonable care. If a defendant could have reasonably avoided injuring the plaintiff despite the plaintiff's own negligence, the defendant is still liable.

    Doctrine of The Last Clear Chance

    In accordance with this doctrine, the contributory negligence of the party


    injured will not defeat the action if it be shown that the defendant might,
    by the exercise of reasonable care and prudence, have avoided the
    consequences of the negligence of the injured party.
