A:Yes, potentially. California follows a rule known as "pure comparative fault" which allows personal injury plaintiffs to recover damages even if they are found to be 99% at fault for their own injuries, though their potential recovery will be reduced according to their level of responsibility. For example, say you were injured in a car accident at an intersection caused by another driver who ran a red light, causing you to suffer a total of $10,000 worth of damages. At trial, the jury finds you to be 20% at fault because you were speeding at the time of the crash. Under California's pure comparative fault rules, you would be able to receive up to $8,000 in compensation (or $10,000 less 20%).
