Determining Liability in a Niles Injury Case
Liability decides who is responsible for your injuries, lost income, and other losses. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule: your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and you can still recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault (735 ILCS 5/2-1116). If your share of fault is greater than 50%, you cannot recover.
