Yes! California adheres to the “pure comparative negligence” principle. This means even if you’re partially responsible for your injury, you can seek compensation. However, your compensation will likely be reduced proportionally to your degree of fault. That means if you are 50 percent at fault for an accident, your compensation might only be 50 percent of the total. Given the complexity of determining fault percentages, having skilled legal counsel is pivotal. The Law Offices of Fernando Vargas can assist in evaluating your case and advocating for a just outcome. Give us a call today to discuss your case!
