Understanding Comparative Negligence: Your Fault May Not Mean Zero Compensation
Injured in an accident where you were partly to blame? Comparative negligence laws may still entitle you to compensation. These laws recognize that accidents often involve shared fault.
What is Comparative Negligence?
• Pure Comparative Negligence: Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. (Ex: 20% at fault = 20% less compensation.)
• Modified Comparative Negligence: In most states, you can't recover damages if you're more than 50% at fault for the accident.
How It Matters
Even with shared fault, you might have a strong case. A personal injury lawyer can assess your situation, fight unfair blame tactics, and protect your right to compensation.
Key Takeaway: Don't assume you're out of luck if you weren't completely blameless. Understanding comparative negligence is crucial after any type of accident.
