Comparative Fault
In a car accident the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault an injured party is responsible for. This is a major issue in a lot of cases and something that your attorney might have to prove.
Most states implement some kind of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to claim compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on the level of blame. So, for example, if a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but finds that you're 40% at fault, you would receive only $60,000.
However, the law is more complicated than that because there are two distinct kinds of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out an injured party from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent. It is followed by some states, including Colorado and Utah. The other type, known as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages if they're found to be 99 percent responsible.
Statute of limitations
In most instances, a person who is injured in a car crash is allowed to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the accident. However these lawsuits must be filed within the timeframe known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is forfeited and barred forever.

It is all about the initial incident that brought about the case, or the incident or accident which caused the injury. The exact time at which the clock starts to tick is vital for respecting this important rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents can have up to three years to make a personal injury claim. This timeline may be shortened in certain circumstances, but.
