        "text": "Yes, in California, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for a truck accident. California operates under a pure comparative negligence system. This means that your recoverable damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your total compensation award would be reduced by 20%. An experienced lawyer can help minimize your assigned percentage of fault to maximize your recovery.",
