Washington’s law of comparative negligence means that the proportionate share of fault of all potential negligent parties must be considered, even if it involves the conduct of the victim. This means that as the victim, you can be held negligent and therefore wholly or partially responsible for your injuries and damages. In Washington, the issue of your degree of negligence may also be called “contributory negligence.”
Consult an attorney to learn more about comparative negligence, and if it is a factor in your personal injury case.
