What is Comparative Negligence in a Personal Injury Claim?

It is not always clear which party is responsible for an accident. In many cases, more than one person could have played a role. When this occurs, the courts in Sandusky utilize modified comparative negligence to determine fault.

At a trial, the jury reviews the evidence before determining the at-fault party. In each case, they assign a percentage of fault to each party, including the plaintiff. If a claimant is 50 percent or less at fault for their injuries they may still receive some compensation. If someone has a higher percentage of liability, the court may bar them from collecting damages.

While a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit could recover compensation as long as they are below the 50 percent threshold, their degree of fault could still impact their recovery. After the jury determines the plaintiff’s degree of fault, they reduce the damage award by the plaintiff’s percentage of fault. For example, a plaintiff that is 40 percent at fault, they would only receive 60 percent of their damages. An experienced attorney in Sandusky could review a personal injury case to determine if comparative negligence may come into play.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether I have a case?

Most Ohio compensation claims are based on negligence. That’s a legal term that means acting carelessly in a way that puts others at risk. Even if it was an accident, you may have a strong case. Ask us for a personalized case review.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

Generally, if you are bringing a car accident or other type of general personal injury case, you have two years to bring a lawsuit. However, in medical malpractice or nursing home neglect cases, generally, the statute of limitations is only one year. Always contact a lawyer as soon as possible if you have been injured.

How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

Each case value is determined individually. To determine the value of the case, your lawyer looks at several factors. They evaluate your financial losses and severity of injury. They factor in the strength of the legal claim and ways to collect your compensation.

What steps should I take immediately after an injury to protect my rights?

To protect your rights after an injury, seek medical attention. Follow healthcare guidance. Keep records of medical care received, and ways that your injuries have impacted you. Don’t discard or alter tangible items that may be relevant, like torn clothing or broken objects. Involve a lawyer as soon as possible.
