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

Yes. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system. That means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the crash. Your financial recovery will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For instance, if you’re awarded $100,000 but found to be 20% at fault, you may still recover $80,000. Your attorney can work to limit the share of fault placed on you by presenting clear evidence and testimony.
