Indiana's Fault System
Indiana follows a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar. Injured parties who are 51% or more at fault are barred from recovery. If less than 51% at fault, compensation is reduced by the percentage of responsibility. This system ensures fairness while holding individuals accountable for their role in an accident. Proper documentation, witness statements, and medical records are critical for proving the other driver's liability and minimizing your assigned fault.
