If you are entirely at fault for your injuries, you will not receive any compensation. If you are partially at fault, you are entitled to compensation to the extent that the other party is responsible for your injuries. A settlement of verdict number is therefore reached by calculating the total damages and then reducing those damages by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, let’s assume liability is 50/50 between you and the driver, and you have damages totaling $10,000.00. You are entitled to compensation of $5,000.00 from the driver.
