In this YouTube video, Mike Ashworth, the head of personal injury law at Wirth Law Office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, discusses the impact of shared fault on compensation in accidents. With almost 40 years of experience in the field, Ashworth shares his insights gained from working in the insurance defense industry and as a prosecutor. He explains the concept of comparative negligence, where fault is divided between parties involved in an accident. Using the example of a motor vehicle accident, Ashworth illustrates how compensation is affected when both parties share blame. He emphasizes that the recovery amount will be paid proportionally by the more at fault party, and if the case goes to trial, the jury verdict will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to the injured party. Contact information for Ashworth's law office is provided at the end of the video.
