Liability

The aim of a motor accident claim is to seek damages for injuries and losses caused by negligence of another party. A lawsuit for an automobile or trucking crash will require that the victim's claim be proven that the defendant's negligent acts or inaction resulted in a collision and the bodily injury that resulted from it.

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit has to prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation on out-of pocket expenses that are incurred, as well as the loss that is anticipated due to the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

Comparative Fault

In the event of a car crash, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault an injured party is responsible for. It's a crucial issue in a lot of cases and something your attorney may have to prove.

Most states have some form of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of their share of the blame is for an accident. The amount of compensation will be based on their degree of fault. For instance, if a jury gives you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent in the wrong, you'd be awarded only $60,000.

However, the law is much more complicated than that, as there are two distinct types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This bar rule blocks an injured person from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50%. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other type is pure comparative fault, which allows victims to claim damages even if they are found to be 99 % at fault.

In the majority of situations, a person is injured in a car accident is allowed to file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident. However the lawsuits must be filed within a specified period of time, also known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred for life.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to have anything to do with whether the defendant's insurance company will settle, and everything to do with the trigger event that started the case, which is the incident or accident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to run is essential for respecting this important rule.
