What If You Were Partially Responsible For The Accident?
Though the law recognizes the fact that there may be shared blame for an accident, different states handle the matter in different ways. California is guided by a principle known as “pure comparative negligence,” meaning that your partial fault does not prevent you from being awarded damages. However, the percentage of fault the court assigns to you will be deducted from the total.
So, for example, if the court awards you $1,000,000 in damages, and you are deemed to be 20 percent at fault for the accident, you will receive $800,000, or $1 million minus 20 percent. What the word “pure” means in this context is that even if you are more than 50 percent responsible for your own injury, you can still receive a settlement at verdict.
