Comparative negligence is when you may be partially at fault for your injuries. In California, this doesn’t bar you from recovery. However, it can reduce the amount of compensation you receive. This is done by considering your percentage of fault and reducing your compensation by that much. For example, if you’re found to be 30% at fault, your compensation might be reduced by 30%. Determining fault and negotiating these percentages can be complex an requires the experience of a skilled personal injury attorney. For clear guidance and to ensure you get the maximum compensation possible, consult with the Law Offices of Fernando Vargas.
