What If I'm Partially to Blame for My Injury?

Even if you are partially at fault for the accident that caused your injury, you are still able to pursue compensation under Montana's shared fault laws. Simply stated, the comparative fault rule allows the plaintiff to receive compensation if they are less than 50% at fault for the accident. For example, if you were involved in a car accident where you were rear-ended but were also texting, the defendant could argue that you share fault for the accident. The court will need to determine at what percentage you are at fault, and will then deduct that percentage from the total compensation. If you were awarded $10,000, but were ruled 20% at fault, then you would only receive $8,000 in total recovery. If you are judged to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot collect any damages at all.
