Illinois comparative fault — and why it matters locally
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule: your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault you recover nothing. Because of this, insurers often argue that the injured person shared the blame. A careful investigation of how the crash happened helps answer those arguments.
