You can still file a car accident injury claim if you were partially at fault. Fault is kind of dealt with on a percentage scale, right? So sometimes it can be held fifty-fifty. Say if both people are reversing out of parking stalls in a parking lot, it’s kind of the same thing. Other times there’s what’s called contributory negligence where some actions or omissions might have contributed to that person’s injury, and there’s a lot of different ways that fault can be attributed.
In a way that’s not 100-0, but at the same time irrespective of how fault is attributed, yes, you would still have the ability to make a claim even if the other driver is not 100% at fault.
