A system known as comparative fault, also referred to as contributory negligence - determines the extent to which an injured person can be held responsible for a car crash. It's an important issue in a lot of cases and something your attorney may have to prove.

Most states use some kind of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to pursue compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by the degree of fault. If, for example an appeals court awards $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent responsible, you will only receive $60,000.

However, the law is much more complicated than that, because there are two distinct varieties of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents the injured party from receiving compensation if they are responsible for more than 50%. It is a rule that is followed by several states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages if they're found to be 99 per cent at fault.

Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to run is essential for compliance with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. The timeframe may be reduced in certain circumstances, but. For example, in cases where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is paused until the child becomes fully emancipated through marriage or reaching age 18, which typically takes two years following the accident. Other exceptions exist and experienced lawyers can advise on the specifics.
