What if the accident was partly my fault?

Under Pennsylvania law, you may still have the right to recover compensation for your injuries even if you were partly at fault for an accident that injured you. The Pennsylvania comparative negligence rule states that you can file a personal injury claim if you were not more at fault for your injuries than the other party or parties. However, the rule also states that your financial recovery may be reduced in proportion to your share of responsibility for the accident and your injuries. Let an injury attorney in Norristown, PA, help you maximize your financial recovery if the other party or insurance company tries to place some of the blame for the accident on you.
