In a concept called “comparative negligence,” more than one person can be responsible for a car accident. Under comparative negligence, each party can be held responsible for the accident according to their percentage of fault. The important thing to understand in a multi-car accident is that if the other drivers were more negligent than you, then you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries.

Once the percentage of fault has been determined then damages can be computed. If you were not negligent at all in the accident then you will be entitled to 100 percent of your damages. Exactly who will be responsible for paying for your injuries will be determined by who is negligent and to what extent.
