        "text": "In California, you can still file a claim even if you were partially at fault for your injury due to the state's comparative negligence laws. This means that your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your total awarded damages would be reduced by 20%. An attorney can help argue for minimal fault on your part to maximize your potential recovery.",
