Car Accident Fault: What if I am at Fault?

Damages and Degree of Fault

Determining the degree of fault can involve complex legal and factual issues.
If you and several other parties are at fault, the case becomes exponentially more complex.
How the case is presented to a jury will be critical.
To help a jury make a decision, the judge gives them instructions. In comparative liability cases, your attorney will have to request the judge to give special instructions to the jury regarding damages and liability.
Any damages awarded will be reduced proportionately by your degree of fault.
