What If I Was Partly at Fault for My Car Accident?
Louisiana abides by a comparative fault law, which means it is possible for you to still receive compensation even if you are found to be partially at fault. However, this law also states that any compensation you’re entitled to may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if it is determined that you were 20% responsible for your accident and you have $100,000 in damages, your compensation will likely be reduced to $80,000.
