When an accident results in serious harm and one party is suing another, the defense might argue that they were not completely to blame. If this is true, the plaintiff’s portion or percentage of fault will be deducted from the claim. This is known as comparative negligence. For example, if a plaintiff was 25% at fault, they will lose 25% worth of damages. These cases can be more challenging to resolve. If you believe that you were partially to blame for an accident that resulted in your injuries, then it may be beneficial to reach out to a lawyer. They can form strategies that will improve your chances of obtaining a positive case result, even if you do have partial blame for the accident.
