Negligence Is the Basis For All Kearny Car Accident Claims 

Negligence is the basis for all car accident claims. If it cannot be demonstrated that someone behaved negligently and that the negligence caused or contributed to the accident, then there is no foundation for a personal injury claim. Without negligence, an accident is just an accident. 

Proving negligence in a car accident claim may seem fairly straightforward from your point of view. Perhaps you thought the other driver was speeding, or maybe you saw them look away from the road to get a glimpse of their cell phone. In many situations, the at-fault driver will argue that you were somewhat responsible for the accident. 

A knowledgeable personal injury attorney with experience handling car accident claims will collect the necessary evidence to support your claim of negligence. In addition to speeding and distracted driving, other negligent behaviors include driving recklessly, not signaling when changing lanes, drunk driving, and disregarding the safety of others. 

Can I Still Recover Compensation For My Kearny Car Accident If I Am Somewhat At-Fault For The Accident? 

If you are somewhat responsible for your car accident, then special rules apply with regard to your compensation. New Jersey follows what is known as “comparative fault rules” in these situations. 

New Jersey’s comparative fault rules provide that any compensation you would receive will be reduced by a percentage that reflects your percentage of fault for the accident. This may sound complicated but it is actually a straightforward calculation. 

If, for example, it is determined that you are 25 percent responsible for the car accident, then your damages will be reduced by 25 percent. So a damage award of $10,000 will be reduced by 25 percent to $7,500. Under these comparative fault rules, if it is determined that you are more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, then you may not recover any compensation from the other at-fault driver.
