What if I was partially responsible for the accident?
In an auto accident, when one defendant claims the plaintiff was partially at fault for the injury and is found to have contributed less than 51% of their share of responsibility, a jury will determine what percentage each party has in causing the injury. The plaintiff's recovery will then be reduced by his or her own amount of fault. Even if you think you are partially to blame, talk to a personal injury attorney to help you decide what to do.
