In Oklahoma, accidents involving multiple at-fault parties are handled under the state’s comparative negligence system. This means that each party’s degree of fault is assessed, and compensation is adjusted accordingly. If you are involved in such an accident, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. It’s crucial to gather evidence and work with an experienced attorney to ensure a fair assessment of fault. Oklahoma’s approach allows injured parties to recover damages even if they are partially responsible, as long as they are not more than 50% at fault. Understanding this system can help you navigate the complexities of multi-party accidents and maximize your potential compensation.
