Michigan follows a comparative negligence rule in personal injury cases, which means that if you’re partially at fault for an accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% responsible for a car accident and awarded $10,000, your compensation would be reduced by 20%, resulting in $8,000. However, if you’re more than 50% at fault, Michigan law prevents you from recovering any damages. This rule encourages fair compensation based on each party's role in the accident.
