Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

By Sami

Yes, as long as you’re 50% or less at fault. South Carolina’s modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery even when you share some blame. However, your compensation is reduced by your fault percentage. If you’re 30% at fault, you receive 70% of total damages. If you’re 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies manipulate comparative negligence by exaggerating your fault. Our attorneys aggressively challenge these arguments to minimize your responsibility and maximize your recovery.
