If you were involved in a car accident, it can be more challenging to receive full compensation for your injuries and damages if you were partially at fault. But it’s not impossible, either. California is a comparative negligence state, meaning that drivers who are even partially at fault for an accident can still collect compensation, although it is likely to be limited. That’s because under comparative negligence, your settlement can be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. That’s why an experienced car accident attorney can gather evidence to prove the other party was partially or mostly at fault.
