What to Know About California Fault Law
Even if you share some of the fault for your catastrophic injuries, California will not take away your right to pursue compensation. Under state pure comparative negligence law, you can still recover whatever percentage of your injuries you are not responsible for causing. This means that even if you were to be over 50% liable, you would still be able to seek the remaining 50% that was not your fault. State law has no limit on how much responsibility a party may have in such cases, even if 99% at-fault.
Some insurance companies will try to deflect fault onto you even though you had no part in causing yourself such harm. This tactic helps them to save money on any settlement or awards they must pay. This type of manipulation of facts underscores the vital role an experienced catastrophic injury attorney plays in not only protecting your rights to compensation but ensuring what you receive is fair for your injuries.
