What if I was partially at-fault for the Florida accident because I was walking outside of a crosswalk or running across the street?
Florida’s a comparative negligence state. In making a determination in any type of negligence case, whether it’s two motor vehicles, a motor vehicle and pedestrian, or motor vehicle and bicyclist, or even two bicyclists, they’re going to look the degree of responsibility that each one of the participants caused or contributed to the ultimate occurrence in causing the loss, injury, or damage that’s being claimed.
