0:04
we practice uh in two states mainly uh
0:08
Kansas and in Missouri in Missouri it’s
0:12
called Pure comparative fault that means
0:14
you can be 99% at fault for the
0:17
automobile accident and still recover
0:19
and under those
0:20
circumstances any fault that is
0:22
attributed to you for causing the
0:25
automobile accident would result in uh a
0:29
uh reduction of your compensation or
0:32
your reward uh on the Kansas side it’s
0:36
called Uh modified comparative fault and
0:40
in that case uh the court the jury looks
0:44
at the comparative fault of the parties
0:47
involved in the accident if the
0:49
plaintiff is as much at fault 50% at
0:53
fault against one defendant uh for
0:56
causing the accident then they are going
0:58
to be barred from recovery so in Kansas
1:01
we uniquely look at a party’s
1:04
contributory or comparative fault to
1:06
determine whether or not there’s a risk
1:09
that they might not recover at all
