Many states have a type of comparative fault rule which allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of the blame is attributed to an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on the level of blame. For example when a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40% at fault, you will only get $60,000.
