A: Assumption of risk is a defense that can be used by defendants against the victim. It is a defense that the plaintiff cannot receive compensation from the defendant for their injuries because the plaintiff freely and knowingly took on the risk of injury, relieving the defendant of the obligation to act with reasonable care.
