If you were partially at fault for a car accident in Mississippi, you may be able to recover compensation in proportion to the percentage of fault attributed to you. This is known as comparative fault. Mississippi follows what is known as pure comparative fault, meaning a plaintiff can recover even if they were 99% at fault for an accident. However, their damages will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For example, if you suffered fifty thousand dollars of damages and you were found to be twenty percent at fault for the car accident, your award would be reduced to forty thousand dollars.
