Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the slip and fall accident?

12. Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the slip and fall accident?

Yes, you may still be able to file a claim for a slip and fall accident in Michigan even if you were partially at fault. Michigan follows a comparative negligence system, which means that your compensation may be reduced proportionally based on your degree of fault.

For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your total compensation award would be reduced by 20%. However, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages.

It's essential to consult with a personal injury attorney to assess your case and understand how your degree of fault may impact your ability to recover compensation.
