In Illinois, accidents involving multiple at-fault parties are handled under the state’s modified comparative negligence law. This means that each party’s degree of fault is assessed, and compensation is adjusted accordingly. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault, you can recover 80% of the total damages. It’s crucial to gather evidence and work with an experienced attorney to ensure a fair assessment of fault and maximize your compensation. Understanding Illinois’ approach to shared fault can significantly impact the outcome of your claim.
