In Florida, can I still receive compensation even if I’m partially responsible for the accident? My name is Khalil Farah. I’m an attorney at Farah & Farah and the short answer is yes you can. In Florida, as long as you are not a majority responsible for the accident, you can still collect damages. So, if you’re 40% responsible, if you’re 30% responsible, you can still collect damages. However, if you’re 51% responsible, you can’t. So, that’s where that line is drawn.
