The State of Illinois is an at-fault state, meaning, the driver at-fault for an auto accident will carry the cost of damages and losses. By virtue of comparative negligence, the degree of negligence will determine which party will receive compensation for bodily injury and property damage.
Since Illinois has adopted the modified comparative negligence in determining recovery damages, a concerned party may only be entitled to compensation if they are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, this doesn’t mean that the said party will automatically receive 100% compensation. Modified comparative negligence will still take into account the degree of responsibility and will deduct this from the compensation. For instance, if you have been found to be 15% at fault for the incident, you will only receive 85% of the total damages and losses.
