Understanding Comparative Negligence in Personal Injury Cases

Did you know that even if you were partially at fault for an accident, you might still be entitled to compensation? This concept, known as comparative negligence, is critical for personal injury cases in California.

What Is Comparative Negligence?

Comparative negligence allows a plaintiff to recover damages even if they share some responsibility for the accident. For example, if a court determines you are 20% at fault in an accident, your total compensation will be reduced by that percentage.

How Does It Impact Your Case?

Understanding comparative negligence is essential for setting realistic expectations about your claim. Insurance companies may try to use this against you to minimize your payout, but having an experienced attorney on your side can make all the difference.
