Compensation if the accident was your fault depends on the laws of your state. In some states, who was at fault in the accident is not considered with regard to compensation. In those states, part or all of your economic damages may be paid by your no-fault insurance policy. In other states, which driver is responsible for the accident is vitally important. You may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries even if the accident was partially your fault. In that case, you will have to show that the other driver was more responsible than you were in causing the collision. Additionally, damages caused by your negligence are not recoverable.
