Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the truck accident?

Yes, you can still seek compensation even if you share some responsibility for the commercial truck accident. Florida operates under a modified comparative fault system governed by Fla. Stat. § 768.81. This means your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, provided you are not found to be more than 50% responsible for the accident. If your fault exceeds 50%, you are barred from recovery. Evaluating these complex liability apportionments requires careful analysis of driver logs and black box data. Jeffrey S.
