If you are deemed to be partially responsible for your accident, you may still recover financial compensation under New York law. In New York, your fault will be weighed against the fault or negligence of the other drivers; the damages your recover will be adjusted accordingly. This system of recovery is based on the principle of comparative negligence.

Under comparative negligence, you can still recover the damages you need and deserve. These damages include:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Lost pension
  • Loss of benefits, such as health insurance.
