Absolutely. And I say that with one caveat: That’s not true in all states but in most states there’s a comparative fault system which means that even if you are partially responsible for your injuries, the accident and the injuries you can still recover for your accident and injuries but only to the extent in a proportion to which someone else is responsible for your accident and injuries so let’s use an example let’s say were in a two car wreck and the court or the judge or a jury decides that I was 10% at fault the other car the defendant was 90% at fault and my damages are $100,000 I would be entitled to $90,000 for recovery. So my recovery would be reduced by my proportion at fault and that’s the nature of comparative fault, which is the dominant rule across the country.
