San Diego's Fault System
San Diego applies California's pure comparative negligence rule. Injured parties may recover damages even if they share responsibility for the crash. Compensation is reduced in proportion to fault. For example, if you are 25% at fault, your recovery is reduced by 25%. This system provides flexibility but also gives insurers incentive to argue for higher fault percentages to minimize payouts.

Insurance Requirements
Drivers must carry at least 30/60/15 in liability coverage. This coverage protects others from damages you cause in an accident. Insurers are required to offer uninsured motorist coverage, though drivers may decline it in writing. Given San Diego's busy highways and tourist traffic, UM coverage can provide critical protection if the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance.
