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

Yes, you can still recover compensation, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule under Fla. Stat. § 768.81. This means if you are found 20% responsible for the crash, your total compensation is reduced by 20%. However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages from the other party. Jeffrey S. Altman can evaluate the details of your collision to help accurately determine liability and pursue appropriate compensation.
