        "text": "California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that if you are found partially at fault for a rear-end collision, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your damages award will be reduced by 20%. Even if you believe you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to recover compensation. A lawyer can assess your case and help protect your right to fair compensation.",
