When a crash happens, fault is not always one-sided. In some cases, both parties may share responsibility. That is where comparative negligence applies. Comparative negligence is a legal doctrine that reduces an injured person’s compensation based on their percentage of fault.

Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts, so even a small change in fault percentage can significantly impact your recovery. Swipe for more information.

If you have been injured and are concerned about shared fault, do not make assumptions about your case. Contact us to discuss your situation and protect your right to full and fair compensation.

When a legal dispute arises, some of the first questions that clients have are whether the court can be avoided and, if not, how long litigation may take. Below, we address both.

💠Are there alternatives to going to court? Yes, there are. Alternative dispute resolution options include mediation and arbitration. Mediation is when a neutral third party facilitates settlement discussions without issuing a binding decision. Arbitration is when a neutral arbitrator hears evidence and typically renders a binding decision. In some cases, contracts require mediation or arbitration before litigation.

💠How long does litigation usually take? Timelines vary widely. Some cases resolve in a matter of months, while others may take a year or more, especially if they proceed to trial. Factors include case complexity, number of parties, and court scheduling.

If you are facing a lawsuit or considering one, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. We are here to help guide you through this process.
