What If It Was My Fault?

To avoid paying for your damages, insurance companies may claim that you contributed to your accident. Your attorney can help you determine whether this is true and, if so, how it will impact your recovery.  A California judge or jury may find that you were partially liable for your accident if you: 

• Violated a traffic law 
• Admitted fault 
• Provided a recorded statement that led to an admission of fault 
• Drove while distracted or impaired 

If you contributed to your accident, California law will apply a percentage to your fault and deduct that percentage from the damages you can recover. For example, if a drunk driver hit you while you made an illegal turn, you may be considered 40 percent at fault for the accident. As a result, a court may choose to reduce your damages award by 40 percent (so, if you stood to recover $10,000 for your accident, then, you will recover $6,000).  At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we are familiar with the law on partial liability. If it turns out that you were partially liable for your car accident, we will take steps to minimize your fault percentage so that you can still be made whole.
