Most states have a form of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of the blame is for an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be reduced according to their degree of fault. So, for example when a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent in the wrong, you'd be awarded only $60,000.
