Q: If I was partially at fault for the collision with the truck, can I still win the case?

A: The answer will depend on the degree of your fault. According to the legal document of “comparative negligence”, the amount of another party’s liability for the collision is set by comparing his negligence with your own. The other party’s portion of liability is what determines the percentage of the resulted damages he has to pay. If your own carelessness is found to be at 50 percent or more, then you can’t recover anything in most states. But don’t let the size of the truck bring on the confusion on you. Let us evaluate your case and determine if you have a strong legal case against a trucking company, call our office today.
