If an accident was partially your fault, you may still be able to get compensation. All states have comparative fault laws in place. This means that for a given accident, fault can be assessed among all parties involved. Some states, like Tennessee and Arkansas, follow what is known as modified comparative fault. This means you can only recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault.
Other states, like Mississippi and Missouri, follow pure comparative fault. This means there’s no 50% threshold. In states that have comparative fault laws, your recovery will be reduced by any percentage of fault placed on you, making it important to retain the right law firm.
Our firm works hard to uncover all evidence in order to properly establish fault. We are able to interview witnesses, look for video footage, and inspect the scene of the accident to make sure all relevant evidence is identified and preserved in your case.
