Can I still get compensation if the car accident was partly my fault?

Yes. Illinois uses a “modified comparative fault” rule. You can still recover money as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible for the crash. Your final compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20 percent at fault, you get 80 percent of the damages. Costa Ivone will work to show the other driver’s role in the accident and keep your fault as low as possible.
