Florida follows a legal principle called pure comparative negligence under Fl. Stat. § 768.81. Under this law, the negligence of all drivers who are involved in an accident is compared. The jury determines the percentage of fault held by each driver when it distributes compensation. The law allows you to seek compensation from the other driver even if you share some of the fault for its cause. If you were partially to blame, the amount that you can recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault that is allocated to you.
