Carelessness and Your Claim
Even if you were careless and partly caused an accident, you may still get at least some compensation from anyone else who was also careless and partly responsible for the accident. The amount of the other person's liability for the accident is determined by their percentage.
During negotiations, your attorney and an insurance adjuster will discuss all of the factors that might have caused the accident. Then, the question of your own carelessness will be considered, along with all the other factors that determine how much your claim is worth — such as the seriousness of your injuries and the amount of your medical bills.
