Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?
New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule under CPLR § 1411. This means you may still pursue compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 30% at fault, your recovery would be reduced by 30%.
