I was involved in an accident. While I accept some of the blame I do not think that I am responsible for all of it. What can I do?
- The law recognises that there may be times when the person who sustained the injury has contributed towards the accident.
- In cases such as these the court may reduce the amount that someone has to pay because they have contributed to the negligence.
- In rare cases the court may reduce it by the amount of 100% if it considers it is fair to do so.
