Sometimes there is an incident or collision where the injured person may be partially at fault. This does not preclude you from recovering some compensation for your injuries. Liability is sometimes difficult to assess. At Stanfield Bechtel Law, we have taken cases that other law firms have turned down and achieved very large settlements, even when our client has been said to be partially liable. The rule in Connecticut is that if you are less than 50% liable for a collision or incident, you are entitled to recover. Your recovery will be reduced by your own percentage of negligence that contributed to the incident or collision, but that can still be significant compensation.
