Complaint
Hi, all!
I'm translating a complaint due to an accident. I've come across this term "Pure Comparative Fault State", and I'm having trouble finding the correct term in Spanish. Can you help me?
Context:
Thirteen states recognize the Pure Comparative Fault Rule, which allows a damaged party to recover even if it is 99 percent at fault, although the recovery is reduced by the damaged party’s degree of fault. These states include Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Washington.
Thanks in advance!

Criterio de concurrencia de culpas / concurrencia de imprudencias
As inferred from the text you provided, this is the technical designation of the criterion used to assess tort liability and the right to claim for compensation.
Certain states legal rules are based on the so called "Pure comparative fault rule" - that corresponds to "concurrencia de culpas" o "concurrencia de imprudencias".
This criteria differs from the "criterio de compensación de culpas" -
Although it is possible, in applying the first criterion, render partial "compensation" regarding the culpability of that person who has contributed to the outcome, e.g., for the purposes of assessing the quantum of compensation, that does not disallow his or her rightful claim.
It is important to remember that the expression is an equivalent term, since the American legal system is a common law based system, and the Spanish-speaking countries are mostly civil law based systems. Hence, there is no such reference to "pure" when mentioning "concurrencia de culpas".
Lastly, the literal translation "culpa comparativa pura" is purely incorrect and not technical.

: This is not about "damaged parts"; it's about "parties" in legal claims - the asker's text tells you that. READ the text please.
