Partial Fault, Catastrophic Injury

Yes we can, but that should not dissuade you from contacting an attorney or a law firm. In Florida we are fortunate because we have Pure Comparative Fault. All too often individuals who are involved in a catastrophic injury accident will just decide, “Well I think I was partially at fault so I have no case and therefore I should not contact an attorney.” You don’t want to think that way.

As I mentioned, in Florida we have pure comparative fault. What that means is even if you have been partially at fault – if someone else has been also partially at fault – you can still recover for your percentage of your damages and injuries, even if you are determined to be partially or even mostly at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
