How Do You Dispute Fault After a Car Accident?
September 08, 2021
If you have been in a car accident in Florida, it’s important to know about Florida’s pure comparative fault system. This system assigns faults as a percentage. In any Florida accident, each driver will be assessed from 0% to 100% responsible for the accident, but the total percentage for all drivers together must equal 100%. If you are found less than 100% responsible for an accident, you can pursue a claim against the other party’s insurance. A jury or judge will allocate the percentage of fault to each driver involved if the case does not settle before trial. A driver’s percentage of fault affects the amount of compensation the driver will receive. If you are wondering how to dispute fault after a car accident, these are the steps to follow.
