Making A Claim For Personal Injuries From A Car Accident That Was Partly Your Fault

Does the fact that you were partly at fault mean you cannot bring a claim for personal injuries in Massachusetts? No. In Massachusetts, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for a car crash, then you may still make a claim. However, the amount of your settlement will be reduced by the percentage of fault you have for the accident. Therefore, if you are considered 50% at-fault for the crash, and your case is worth $10,000.00, then you would recover $5000.00, because of the fact that you were 50% at-fault for the accident.

It seems fair enough. If the blame is on both parties then each should be held responsible for it. That would be the best course of action.

In cases like these, it's better to consult a personal injury lawyer for legal advise. They can represent you in court, and get you the right compensation you deserve for the damages you acquired.
