Even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you may still have a claim.
Each state’s laws are different when it comes to whether an injured person who shares fault can still recover compensation. In some states, and even within the same state, depending on the type of accident, recovery may still be possible.
What makes this more complicated is that what people think of as being at fault is often not the same as being at fault in the legal sense.
For example, if you are driving down the road and your headlights are out, you are probably negligent at that point. But if you get rear ended, you may still be able to recover because your headlights had nothing to do with causing that crash.
Legal fault is different from real-world fault.
Because of the different laws and how fault is applied in the legal system, the best thing you can do is contact an attorney who knows the law, understands the relevant cases, and can apply them to your specific facts.
You may still have a case.
