If I’m Partially at Fault for my El Paso Car Accident, Can I Still Receive Compensation?
Often insurance companies will try to peg some of the responsibility of the accident on you or your loved one. Don’t lose hope! Even if you are partially at fault for the accident, in El Paso you can still file a personal injury lawsuit. There is a law in Texas called “the modified comparative negligence rule” which is intended to provide a fair and proportional way to assign fault and award damages in cases where both parties may have contributed to an accident or injury.
This means that a plaintiff (the person bringing the claim) may still recover damages for their injury or loss even if they were partly at fault, as long as their degree of fault does not exceed a certain percentage (usually 50% or 51%). However, the amount of damages awarded to the plaintiff is reduced in proportion to their degree of fault.
Take Caution Using Social Media Regarding Your El Paso Car Accident Case
- Be mindful of the photos you are posting. Whether it is a vacation photo or simply a night out with friends, any inconsistencies between your claim and what is online can and will be used against you. If you state that you have a broken arm from the accident and then are later seen in photos smiling and having a good time, this may be used to prove that you aren’t possibly as hurt as you stated.
- Change your privacy settings. Be sure that all of your settings are set to “private” or “friends only.” This will give you extra privacy and prevent your posts from being shown to anyone besides your friends.
Decline random friend requests. If you do not know who is adding you, do not accept! Especially during your personal injury case. Often times insurance adjusters and private investigators will try to friend you on social media to get a deeper look into your life. - Google yourself. The best way to check if any information is out there that may harm your case is to search your name on Google. Anything relating to you – if there is anything – will come up when you do a search on your name. If you find anything that may disprove your claim, be sure to promptly remove it.
