THE MODIFIED COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE RULE
THE MODIFIED COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE RULE
- If you are considered to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot receive compensation.
- If you are found to be less than 50% at fault, the amount of compensation you get will be limited by the percentage of fault. For example, if the losses are $200,000 and you are 20% at fault, you are still entitled to $160,000 from the negligent trucker and trucking company—a sizable portion of what you will otherwise be owing.
