I was partially at-fault, so what happens now?

First of all, don’t assume that you were at fault for your Bronx car accident. It is not uncommon for drivers to mistakenly assign themselves blame for an accident. Only a thorough accident investigation by experienced professionals can determine responsibility for a vehicle crash.

If an investigation determines that you are partially responsible for an accident, you can still receive financial compensation under the legal principle of comparative negligence. If you are awarded damages, New York law stipulates that your responsibility will be weighed against the fault or negligence of the other responsible parties and your compensation will be adjusted accordingly.

Damages awarded under comparative negligence can still provide the compensation you need and deserve for expenses resulting from your accident. You can still receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost pension, loss of benefits such as health insurance and other expenses related to the accident.
