Rhode Island follows a “pure comparative negligence” system for handling accidents involving multiple at-fault parties. This means that each party involved in the accident can be assigned a percentage of fault, and their compensation is reduced by their degree of fault. Even if you are 99% at fault, you can still recover 1% of the damages. It’s crucial to gather evidence, consult with a personal injury attorney, and understand your rights to ensure fair compensation. This approach encourages thorough investigation and negotiation to determine the precise fault distribution among all parties involved.
