If I'm T-boned by a drunk driver at an intersection in the bad part of town at 2AM, should the police fail to ticket the other driver because I "really shouldn't have even been there"?
What a ridiculous notion.
🤣 Good lord, insurance companies have been pulling that sh*t for years to get out of paying. Where have you been?
Comparative liability, also known as comparative negligence, is a theory some states use to split up the blame of an accident. For example, a driver might stop abruptly for a squirrel, while another driver is speeding and looking down, and the result is an ugly crash. Technically, both drivers are to blame and neither are fully responsible.
