If I was partially to blame for the accident which caused my injuries, can I still pursue compensation?

Under Kentucky law, individuals who suffer an injury that was, in part, based on their own recklessness or negligence can still pursue compensation to help them cope with the costs of their injury. However, under the law, the degree of fault for which an individual may have contributed to the cause of their injury will affect the extent of compensation which they may be able to receive. Most specifically, their compensation will be equivalent to the percentage of the accident that was not their fault.
