What is comparative negligence and how can it affect you?
This term is used to investigate the responsibility of a car accident with the victims. What happens if you are partially responsible? Can you also request compensation?
In the state of California, being partially responsible does not prevent you from requesting compensation for any injury caused by the accident. This state is clear in following its rules on comparative negligence, which means that, even if you are partially at fault, you still have the right to recover expenses for the damages caused.In these cases you will not be able to receive 100% of your recovery, everything depends on the degree of liability determined by a specialist. For example, if the case has a value of $10,000, but you have 20% liability, your recovery will be reduced by that 20% to reflect your degree of fault. If you have any doubts, we recommend that you approach a car accident lawyer in California, who will help you with timely legal representation.
