Yes, you can. California law operates under a “pure comparative negligence” rule. This allows you to claim damages even if you’re partly to blame for the accident. Unlike some states that put a cap on fault at 50%, California permits you to claim compensation even if you were 99% at fault. However, your compensation will be adjusted to reflect your percentage of blame. This rule can be complex. That is why you need a skilled and experienced personal injury attorney to assist. That’s where we come in. The Law Offices of Fernando Vargas is here to help you navigate through this process and secure the best possible outcome.
