These are called economic and non-economic damages.

Comparative Fault
In the event of a car crash, the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that the person who was injured is accountable for. This is a major issue in a variety of cases and something your attorney may be required to prove.
Most states have some form of comparative fault rule that allows victims to be compensated even if their share of the blame is attributed to an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by the level of responsibility. So, for example If a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries but finds you are 40% at fault, you would be awarded only $60,000.
However, the law is more complicated than that, because there are two distinct varieties of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This prevents an injured person from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50%. It is used by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. The other type is pure comparative fault. It allows victims to recover damages even if they are found to be at fault.
Statute of limitations
In the majority of instances, a person who is injured in a car accident is allowed to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the accident. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain timeframe of limitations, or else the victim's claim is forever barred.
The statute of limitations has nothing to be concerned with whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle, and it is all about the trigger event that started the case-the accident or incident that led to the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock starts to run is crucial in to ensure compliance with this important legal rule.
In New York, people who are injured in car accidents generally have three years to make personal injury lawsuits. In some cases the timeframe can be shortened. For instance, in situations where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is suspended until the child is legally emancipated after marriage or reaching age 18, which is typically two years after the date of the accident. There are other exceptions, and a knowledgeable attorney can give advice on the specifics.
