The plaintiff was driving inattentively when she had to swerve to avoid two other negligently driven vehicles at a busy intersection, and her car struck a light pole. The plaintiff, who was the only driver injured, sued one of the other drivers to recover damages in a jurisdiction that has adopted pure comparative negligence. The jury determined that she suffered injuries of $100,000 and was 50% at fault. If the plaintiff is awarded a recovery of only $25,000 from the defendant, what will be the most likely reason
