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

Yes. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For instance, if you’re found 30% at fault, your award would be reduced by 30%. This legal framework allows injury victims in St. Louis to pursue claims even in complex, shared-fault cases, but it’s important to work with an attorney who can help limit the amount of fault attributed to you by the opposing party.
