If you were partially at fault for your truck accident in Missouri, you could still be able to recover compensation or damages. Missouri recognizes the doctrine of comparative negligence, which means you may collect damages in proportion to the defendant’s percentage of fault. If a percentage of fault is placed on you, your damages may be reduced accordingly. For example, if your damages are fifty thousand, but you were deemed ten percent at fault, you would collect forty-five thousand.
