Liability

The purpose of a motor accident claim is to seek compensation from the other party for injuries and losses that were caused by their negligence.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that the person who was injured is accountable for. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney will have to prove.

Most states implement some type of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to pursue compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. The amount of compensation will be based on the level of blame. For instance, if an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries but finds that you're 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.

However, the law is more complex than that as there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The one is known as the 50 bar rule, which blocks the victim from receiving damages in cases where they are more than 50% at the fault.
