Proving fault in California depends on your claim. It generally requires that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty, breach of said duty, that breach of duty caused injury to the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff accrued damages. It can be difficult to determine fault in a case. During our free consultation, an attorney can help you determine your claim, and potential liability.
Here at GTA, our attorneys can evaluate your claim to see if you are at fault or partially at fault. California is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that an individual is only responsible for the percentage of fault attributed to their actions. So, if you are at partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation for the other party’s comparative fault. Even if you are partially at fault, GTA will fight for your compensation. Speaking with an experienced Personal Injury attorney at GTA can help determine if you are at fault or partially at fault.
