What happens if I’m partially at fault for the motorcycle accident?
Under Cyprus Law, there is a concept called contributory negligence. This means that in motorcycle accidents and other accidents in Cyprus, the court will look at both parties to determine just how much fault each party had for causing the accident. If, for instance, you were found to be 30 percent at fault, you could be entitled to recover no more than 70 percent of your damages.
Despite this, it is crucial for you to avoid taking blame right after the accident. It’s best not to jump to conclusions – proper investigation may later reveal that someone else was largely or wholly responsible for your injuries.
More importantly, avoid speaking to insurance adjusters and representatives, as they could use your statements to undermine your claim. Even saying “I’m sorry” could be taken as an admission of your fault. Instead, contact Rotsides & Co right away to speak for you.
