Partially At Fault for an Accident? You May Still Have a Case in California

Many people assume that if they were partially responsible for an accident, they can't recover compensation.

In California, that's often not true.

California follows a legal rule known as comparative negligence, which means an injured person may still be entitled to compensation even if they share some responsibility for the accident.

This can apply to:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Truck accidents
• Other personal injury claims

For example, if another driver was mostly responsible for a collision, you may still have a valid claim even if you made a mistake that contributed to the accident.

Insurance companies often use comparative negligence arguments to reduce claim values, which is why understanding your rights is important before accepting a settlement offer.
