Car Accident Lawsuits Modified comparative negligence The modified comparative negligence rule in car accident lawsuits is a legal doctrine that permits partial recovery of damages even if other party was partially at the fault. This idea was developed to ensure that the process is equitable for both parties. If a person is partially responsible for an accident, the court could reduce the value of their financial compensation to reflect the contribution they made to the accident. Pure comparative negligence can also be applied in some states.
