I Might Have Been Partly To Blame- Can I Still Claim?

Yes! Even if an insurance company has decided the claim was partly your fault and partly the fault of another party you can still make a claim for your injury.

The compensaton you receive may be reduced because you were also at fault, this is called Contributory Negligence.

If you are held 100% to blame for the accident then the third party has not been negligent and therefore there is no claim.

Contributory negligence could also relate to these examples:

If you were not wearing a seatbelt in a car accdent that wasnt your fault.

If you were not wearing protective goggles at work even though they were provided for you.
