        "text": "In California, you may still have a case even if you were partially at fault for an accident on private property. California follows a system of pure comparative negligence. This means that your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for an accident, your total damages awarded would be reduced by 20%. An attorney can help evaluate the circumstances of your accident and determine the potential impact of comparative negligence on your claim.",
