If you were in a car accident, for example, and found partly at fault, your compensation may be reduced based on the degree to which you were responsible. The degree to which you’re at fault is based on a percentage. Some states have cut-offs where, if you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover any damages. Regardless, it is important to avoid admitting fault. Contact an injury claim lawyer to discuss in confidence before giving any sort of recorded statement or discussing the case publicly.
