Even if You Think You Were Partially at Fault, You Can Still Make a Claim Many times when a pedestrian is run over or struck by a car, both the pedestrian and the driver of the automobile share some blame for the accident. If you were injured but think that you may have been partially at fault for the accident, it is important to know that you can still recover compensation for your injuries.

Missouri has what is known as a "pure comparative fault" law. This means that the judge or jury must determine how much each party was at fault. The injured person's financial recovery is reduced by that percentage. For instance, if you or a family member was crossing the street and struck by a car, but the car was speeding, the jury may find that you were 25 percent at fault for your accident. Your financial recovery would be reduced by 25 percent, but you would still be able to recover 75 percent of your money damages for your lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Although most accident claims are resolved without the need for trial, know that our law firm will fully explore every opportunity to get you the compensation you need, either through settlement or at trial.
