Liability

The goal of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to collect damages from the other party for damages and injuries caused by their negligence.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages suffered by the plaintiff.

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

Comparative Fault

In a car accident, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault an injured person is responsible for. In many cases, it's an important aspect that your lawyer will have to prove.

Most states have a form of a comparative fault system that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of whether their part of the blame is for an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by their degree of fault. If, for example an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, and then determines that you are at least 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.

There are actually two different kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out the injured party from receiving compensation if they are responsible for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, motor vehicle accidents permits victims to seek damages in the event that they are found to be 99 per cent at fault.

However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period, referred to as the statute of limitations or the claim of the victim is deemed to be void and barred for life.

It is all about the first incident that led to the case, or the incident or accident which caused the injury. Determining the exact time the clock starts to run is essential for complying with this important rule.
