What if the accident was partly my fault?

In Pennsylvania, you are not necessarily barred from pursuing a personal injury claim just because you share some of the fault for the accident you were injured by. Under Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence rule, you can still file a personal injury claim if you were less than 51 percent at fault for the accident and your injuries. However, any share of responsibility you may bear for the accident may reduce your financial recovery in proportion to your fault. Turn to an injury attorney in Upper Darby, PA, from van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim to advocate on your behalf for maximum financial recovery.
