Does Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule Apply to Truck Accident Claims in West Palm Beach?

Does FL's Modified Comparative Negligence Rule Apply To Truck Accident Claims?

Yes. Florida’s modified comparative negligence system applies to truck accident cases just as it does in other personal injury claims. If a court finds you 51% or more at fault for the collision, recovery is barred entirely. Below that threshold, your compensation is reduced proportionally by your assigned percentage of fault. Because trucking companies and their insurers aggressively dispute liability, having an experienced West Palm Beach truck accident lawyer build a strong evidence-based case is essential.
