Negligence in Pennsylvania and What You Need to Know

The State of Pennsylvania follows the rule of modified contributory negligence. This means an individual cannot seek compensation in an accident if they are more than 50% responsible. So, regardless of your type of accident, proving negligence is essential. This means if a plaintiff was 60% at fault for an accident and the defendant was 40% at fault, the plaintiff would not be able to receive compensation.

It is also important to note that if you are injured in an accident and have a degree of fault, you can still seek compensation. When the majority of an accident is your fault, you are not able to seek compensation.

How Fault is Determined

When someone files a claim with an insurance companies, one of the first steps they take is determining how the accident occurred. The insurance company can evaluate evidence and circumstances involved with the accident. Through this evidence they want to see who they can prove “at fault” for the accident.

There are many ways insurance companies can prove fault in an accident. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Police reports;
  • Traffic laws;
  • Left-hand turn accidents;
  • Rear-end collisions;
  • Security footage;
  • Admitting fault;
  • Other Evidence

Determining fault in an accident is directly correlated to the outcome of a personal injury lawsuit. This is arguably the most important aspect of any accident, or personal injury lawsuit. So, whatever you think your degree of fault may be, contact an experienced Montgomery County personal injury lawyer.
