“In all actions on account of death, bodily injury or physical damage to property in which recovery is predicate upon fault, the contributory fault chargeable to the plaintiff shall be compare with the fault of all tortfeasors whose fault was a proximate cause of the death, injury, loss, or damage for which recovery is sought.
The plaintiff shall be barred from recovering damages if the trier of fact finds that the contributory fault on the part of the plaintiff is more than 50% of the proximate cause of the injury or damage for which recovery is seek. The plaintiff shall not be barred from recovering damages if the trier of fact finds that the contributory fault on the part of the plaintiff is not more than 50% of the proximate cause of the injury or damage for which recovery is sought, but any economic or non-economic damages allowed shall be diminished in the proportion to the amount of fault attributable to the plaintiff.”
