Liability

The aim of a motor vehicle accident claim is to recover damages from the other party for damages and injuries caused by their negligence.

These are referred to as non-economic and economic damages.

In a car accident the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the person who was injured is accountable for. It's an important issue in a number of cases, and one that your attorney could need to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault law that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of their share of the blame is attributed to an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by the level of blame. For instance, if a jury gives you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40% at fault, you'd only receive $60,000.

However, the law is more complicated than that, as there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is known as the 50 bar rule, which bars an injured party from claiming damages when they are more than 50% at fault. It is a rule that is followed by several states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to claim damages if they are found to be 99% at fault.

However the lawsuits must be filed within a specified time frame, known as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim will be forfeited and barred for ever.

Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock starts to tick is crucial for making sure that you are in compliance with this crucial legal rule.
