I am 60% at fault for making a U-turn which caused a collision, but the other driver was speeding and is 40% at fault. Can I recover 40% for my injuries?

State laws vary regarding "comparative negligence," in which two or more people are considered at fault. For example, in order to recover for your injuries in Pennsylvania, you must establish that the other driver was more than 50% responsible for the accident. An experienced auto accident attorney can explain your legal options.
