Understanding Comparative Negligence

Understanding comparative negligence is crucial in personal injury cases. Comparative negligence is a legal concept used to determine the degree of fault each party holds in an accident. In states that follow comparative negligence laws, including New York, the compensation awarded to the injured party may be reduced based on their percentage of fault.

For example, if a pedestrian is hit by a car while crossing the street but is also jaywalking, the court may find them partially at fault for the accident. In such cases, their compensation would be reduced by their percentage of fault. Understanding how comparative negligence works can significantly impact the outcome of a personal injury case.
