What if I am partially at fault in an accident in Alabama? What is contributory negligence in Alabama?

GADSDEN, ALABAMA personal injury LAWYER EXPLAINS if you can still recover if you are partially at fault

Pure Contributory Negligence

Recovery is barred by a plaintiff’s own negligence — even if that negligence is only 1 percent of the cause of the injury. Contributory negligence is usually a question of fact for the jury and generally will not support a motion for summary judgment. In practice, juries are typically reluctant to apply the pure contributory negligence defense and will reduce the verdict amount to account for the plaintiff’s contributory negligence. It is our job to use our experience to get around this law and present your case in a way to get you a recovery.
