Comparative Negligence: Pennsylvania adheres to a modified comparative negligence system. If you're deemed to be 51% or more responsible for your injuries, you won't be able to recover any damages. However, if you are 50% or less at fault. Your total damages will be diminished by your percentage of responsibility.
