Can I File a Car Accident Claim if I Am Partially at Fault for My Injury?
In New York State, you can still file a car accident claim even if you think you were partially at fault. In New York, we are what’s called a pure comparative negligence state which means that your recovery if you’re injured in an accident will be lowered by the amount that you may be deemed at fault. So say your case is deemed to be worth $100,000 and you’re found to be 30% at fault, then therefore your recovery would be $70,000. So even if you think you’re a little bit at fault, it’s still really worth to call a firm like ours and we can get started for you right away. And first work to diminish the amount of liability that the insurance company puts on you and ultimately fight to get you the best result possible.
