        "description": "**No, workers' comp pays regardless of your fault, but third-party suits reduce by your percentage under comparative negligence.** Utah/Idaho follow modified rules.[5] Key factors: Insurer may argue 50%+ fault bars recovery in suits; forklift cases often operator/employer liable.[1][3] Document their negligence like speeding or no training. Lawyer minimizes your fault share for fair award."
