Damages

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault or contributory negligence - defines the amount of fault an injured person could be accountable for a car crash. In many instances, it's a crucial aspect that your lawyer will need to prove.

The amount of compensation will be determined by the level of fault.

The one is known as the 50 bar rule, which prevents the victim from receiving damages when they are more than 50 percent at the fault. It is a rule that is followed by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to recover damages if they're found to be 99% at fault.

In most cases, an injured person in a car crash can bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must, be filed within the prescribed time of limitations or the claim of the victim is forever barred.
