Under this rule, you can pursue compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your damages are offset by whatever proportion of blame is assigned to you. A premises liability lawyer fights to reduce any blame assigned by the defense during the legal process.

Waiting too long can permanently destroy your claim. This is exactly why contacting a premises liability lawyer without delay after your accident is absolutely essential.
