Can I file a personal injury lawsuit if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Partially At Fault in an Accident? Get the Compensation You Deserve with Doucet Co., LPA
If you've been involved in an accident and you're wondering if you can file a personal injury lawsuit, you may be wondering if you can still take legal action if you were partially at fault for the accident. It's a common question, and the answer is that it depends on the specific circumstances of your case and the laws of your state.
In some states, if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. This is known as a "comparative negligence" rule. Other states follow a "pure comparative negligence" rule, which means that you can recover damages even if you were more than 50% at fault, but the amount of damages you can recover will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
It's important to note that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be able to recover damages for your injuries.
