What is comparable negligence auto insurance?

Answer

Comparative negligence works by assesing a percentage of negligence to all involved parties in an accident. Let's say an accident occurs with two totalled cars and some medical bills. One party has $100,000 in total damages and was was found to be 10% at fault for the accident.The other person was deemed to be 90% negligent. The person with only 10% negligence could collect $90,000, or 90% of the total value of their claim/damage from the other party.
