Comparative Negligence in New York
Accident cases sometimes involve two or more negligent parties. When this is the case, anyone who contributed to the accident can be held liable for paying compensation. New York is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that anyone can claim compensation for injuries caused by another person’s negligence, even if they were mostly to blame for the accident. If one of the parties is found negligent, they are assigned a percentage of fault. Any compensation they are awarded is then reduced by that same percentage. For example, a pedestrian may cross a street using a crosswalk while texting on their phone. A driver may hit them and claim the pedestrian was also negligent because they were not paying attention to the road. In this instance, it is possible that the pedestrian would be assigned a percentage of fault. If the pedestrian’s percentage of fault is determined to be ten percent, any compensation they are entitled to would be reduced by ten percent.
