If a person gets injured due to someone else’s negligent conduct, they may be left with damages.
Comparative Negligence
Another important factor that determines the value of your damages is fault. According to Louisiana Civil Code § 2323, a judge and jury will determine the percentage of fault placed upon all parties involved if your personal injury claim reaches court. When you file a personal injury lawsuit, the court will investigate your claim to determine if each party shares fault for injuries, losses, or even death. If you are found partially liable for the accident, your recoverable damages will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
