Illinois has what’s called comparative fault and what happens is the jury looks at 100 of the fault and says okay person a is 50 at-fault person b is 25 percent at fault and the plaintiff for the injured person maybe 25 percent at fault the total of everybody’s fault is a hundred percent so the jury assesses how much fault the injured person may have contributed to their own injury and makes a deduction for that percentage of fault.
