Q: How does Missouri’s comparative fault law affect liability in a personal injury case?

A: Missouri is a pure comparative fault state, meaning you can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example: If you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, typically you can still recover $80,000.
