In Arizona, being partially at fault doesn’t mean you lose your case.
Arizona follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident. Your settlement is reduced based on your percentage of fault.
For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault, you may still recover $80,000.
Insurance companies often use this rule to their advantage by trying to shift more fault onto you. That’s why how your case is handled from the start matters.
