subject: Contributory Negligence - What Is It And Does It Stop You Making An Accident Compensation Claim? [print this page] The important point to bear in mind is that contributory negligence does not stop you making a claim but it will reduce the amount of compensation that you receive. However, your legal costs will still be paid and you can make a claim under a no win no fee agreement, so you really do not have to worry. Seek early and expert legal advice as soon as you are involved in an accident that was partially your fault and you can soon find out whether you can make a claim.
