Do I have a case if I was partially at fault for tripping and falling?

Yes, you may still pursue compensation even if you were partially at fault. Under Fla. Stat. § 768.81, Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means your financial recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you are barred from recovering any damages. Jeffrey S. Altman can evaluate the specific circumstances of your fall to determine how comparative negligence might impact your potential premises liability claim.
