🚨 TRUE OR FALSE? 🚨

If you're injured in a car accident in New York and the crash was partially your fault, you **cannot recover any money.**

What's your answer? 🤔

⬇️ Comment below before reading further.





❌ FALSE.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that being partially at fault means you have no case. In New York, that's simply not true.

New York follows a system called **comparative negligence**, which means an injured person may still be entitled to compensation even if they were partially responsible for the accident.

For example:

🚗 You were speeding, but another driver ran a red light.

🚶 You weren't using a crosswalk, but a distracted driver hit you.

🚲 You made a mistake, but someone else's negligence also contributed to the crash.

In many situations, you may still have a valid claim.

The reality is that insurance companies often use allegations of fault to reduce or deny claims. That's why understanding your rights is so important.

👉 Have you ever been involved in an accident where the other side tried to blame you?
