Can You Determine Your Damages?
If you are partially responsible for the accident that caused your TBI, you can still collect reduced damages in many cases. Idaho Code § 6-801 establishes the comparative negligence standard that applies to personal injury cases. You can sue other negligent parties for your injuries as long as you were no more than 50 percent responsible for the accident.
During the settlement negotiation process, insurance companies will allocate fault between all parties on a percentage basis. If a case goes to court, a jury decides how much responsibility each party bears. The court will reduce your damages by the percentage of fault it allocates to you.
Insurance companies for the responsible parties will assign as much blame as possible to you to reduce their liability. The TBI attorneys at our Idaho Falls office will aggressively protect your right to compensation for your brain trauma.
