Celebrating Our First Pitch: Postman Law at the MN Twins Opening
In 2003, armed only with ambition and a U-Haul, I and a few fellow Michigan grads rolled into the Twin Cities to start our law school journey at the U. Our first memorable stop? The iconic H.H.H. Metrodome.
Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
Fault depends on the specific circumstances of the accident. While drivers often have a higher duty of care, pedestrians can also be found totally at fault, or at least partially at fault, if they acted negligently.
No, drivers are not automatically at fault. A driver may avoid liability if the pedestrian acted unpredictably or violated traffic laws.
Pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked crosswalks, at intersections, and when walk signals are active, so drivers must yield in these situations.
Comparative negligence means both parties can share fault. A pedestrian’s compensation may be reduced by their percentage of responsibility.
Lighting, weather conditions, and obstructed views are considered when determining whether the driver exercised reasonable care.
Police reports, traffic camera footage, witness accounts, physical vehicle damage, and professional accident reconstruction are commonly used to determine what happened.
