What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Under California’s pure comparative fault system, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 25% at fault and your total damages are $200,000, you may still recover $150,000. Insurance companies often inflate a victim’s degree of fault to reduce their liability — our attorneys challenge these determinations with evidence.
