You can still receive monetary damages for your injury if you’re partially to blame for it. Under Michigan’s modified comparative negligence rule, damages are reduced if you are found partially to blame for your injuries; if you’re found to be 50 percent or more at fault, however, no compensation will be awarded.
If you don’t think you’re 100 percent blameless in your injury, don’t worry—a Detroit personal injury lawyer can still work to get you fair compensation.
