What if you are partially to blame?

You can be partially to blame if for example, you were not wearing a helmet or if you unknowingly violated a traffic law. While this might hurt your case a little bit, it doesn't completely deter you from recovering at least some form of compensation. It is also very likely that you receive a much lesser percentage than you are bargaining for, depending on how much of the accident was your fault.

California operates a "comparative negligence" system. This means that an injured person will receive a reduction of damages equal to the percentage of fault that is theirs. For example, if you were found 10% responsible, you'd only get 90% of the compensation filed for.

With this, it is possible for you to be compensated even if you are partially to blame. You'll need to turn to your Santa Maria motorcycle accident lawyer for a full consult that highlights everything you need to about how your case should proceed.
