Can I still claim compensation for damages if I was partially at fault for a car accident?

Absolutely. According to the Miami car accident lawyers at The Perazzo Law Firm, you can still seek compensation in Florida even if you’re partially at fault for the accident. Florida follows a comparative fault system, which means your level of responsibility for the crash will reduce the amount of compensation you can recover.

For example, if you’re found 30% at fault, and your total damages amount to $10,000, you would still be eligible to receive $7,000.

Jonathan Perazzo, head attorney at The Perazzo Law Firm, emphasizes the importance of having Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of insurance can protect you even when you’re partly at fault—especially if the other driver doesn’t have sufficient coverage to pay for your injuries or losses.

Bottom line:
Don’t assume you can’t recover damages just because you share some blame.
Let a knowledgeable attorney at The Perazzo Law Firm evaluate your case and insurance options—including UM coverage—so you can pursue the maximum compensation available under Florida law.
