Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Any recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but partial responsibility does not automatically prevent you from pursuing a claim.
