How is fault determined in a North Hollywood, California personal injury case?
November 6, 2024 – Sean Shamsi
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning that the fault may be distributed among all parties involved in the accident. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your damages will be reduced by 20%.
