Even if you are found to be partially at fault for an accident, you may still be eligible to file a personal injury claim to recover the damages you sustained. As a state that utilizes the pure comparative fault rule, plaintiffs may recover damages even if they are found to be 99% at fault for the accident. However, the total amount of compensation that may be recovered with a claim will be reduced to reflect the degree of fault the plaintiff is found to be responsible for.
