Minnesota follows a “comparative fault” system for handling accidents involving multiple at-fault parties. Under this system, 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. This approach encourages fair settlements and ensures that each party is held accountable for their contribution to the accident. It’s crucial to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to navigate the complexities of comparative fault and maximize your compensation.
