Lei nº 10.406/2002 (Código Civil), Art. 945. Se a vítima tiver concorrido culposamente para o evento danoso, a sua indenização será fixada tendo-se em conta a gravidade de sua culpa em confronto com a do autor do dano.
Source-backed allocation summary
Brazilian Civil Code Art. 945 (concorrência de culpas): when the victim contributed to the harm through their own fault, the court fixes compensation proportionally, weighing the severity of the victim's fault against the defendant's fault. Art. 944 establishes the baseline: indemnification is measured by the extent of the damage, subject to equitable reduction if the fault-damage ratio is grossly disproportionate.
