While many states limit recovery of damages to individuals who are less than 50 percent at fault for the accident that led to their injuries, California has adopted a pure comparative negligence standard. Therefore, even if injury victims are primarily at fault for their accidents, they still may be able to seek damages from other negligent parties. However, the total amount of damages that individuals may receive is limited by their degree of fault for the accident. Therefore, if they have $100,000 worth of damages from an accident, but they are 75 percent at fault for the accident, then their maximum recovery is $25,000 from other negligent parties.
