If you are partially at fault for your knee injury, it may still be possible to recover compensation. Maine is a comparative negligence state, which means that the amount of compensation you receive may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you were found to be 20% responsible for the accident and the total damages were $100,000, you would be eligible for only $80,000 in compensation. At Goldberg & Loren, our experienced Portland knee injury attorneys can help you understand your rights and legal options.
