You can recover for injuries suffered in an Illinois car accident, even if you are partially at fault

Is it possible to recover the injuries suffered in an accident in Illinois if someone is partially at fault!! It is possible, but not easy. If the plaintiff is at fault upto 25% or responsible for his inuries then the amount of recovery will be reduced by 25%. Let say the total amount is $1000, if you are 25% responsible then the amount left $750 after reducing the 25% . But if the plaintiff is responsible 50% for the injuries then he would not be able to get any recovery. Read about the recent settlement in this blog.
