Comparative Negligence in Pedestrian Accidents

The state of Illinois uses the principle of “modified comparative negligence” in accidents involving pedestrians. This means that a pedestrian who was the victim of an accident may be eligible for compensation from the at-fault party provided that the victim was not more than 50% responsible for the accident. This differs from the former “pure comparative negligence” rule which reduced a victim’s compensation by his/her percentage of fault for the accident. In Illinois, however, the victim must only be less than 50% responsible for the accident in order to be eligible for compensation.
