Comparative Negligence in Florida Personal Injury Cases

Florida statute 768.81 on comparative fault outlines how multiple parties can be blamed for causing a crash, slip and fall, dog bite, or other type of personal injury. The victim themselves are often blamed for causing the incident in many cases. Comparative fault works like this: if the victim is found to be 30 percent at fault for causing the car crash, the other party is only responsible for paying out 70 percent of the total financial compensation that would have otherwise been available. For an example, if a car ran a red light and T-boned you, but you were driving 15 miles per hour over the speed limit at the same time, you might be held partially to blame, and therefore partially liable for your injuries. It is up to an attorney to prove that you were not at fault even to a small degree, and to limit any comparative fault the other side tries to bring upon you.
