If you believe you share any percentage of fault in the wreck, it’s important that you do not inform the other party of this information, or even say that you’re sorry. This can be used against you in legal proceedings. If it is discovered that you are partially to blame for the accident, the total amount of compensation you can receive may be affected. According to South Carolina code §15-38-15, if you do share some degree of legal liability, the amount of compensation you’re entitled to receive will be reduced by an amount that is equal to your percentage of fault.
