Comparative Fault

Most states adopt some kind of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to pursue compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by their degree of fault. If, for example an appeals court awards $100,000 for your injuries but finds that you are at least 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.
But the law is more complicated than that, because there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This bar rule blocks an injured party from receiving compensation if they are responsible for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that adhere to this rule. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages if they're found to be 99 percent responsible.
Statute of Limitations

It's all about the initial incident that brought about the case, the incident or accident which caused the injury. The exact time at which the clock begins to tick is crucial for compliance with this important rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to make a personal injury claim. In some cases this time frame can be reduced. If a child is involved, for instance the statute is stopped until the child is legally emancipated. This can be achieved by marriage or at the age of 18, usually two years after the incident. There are other exceptions and experienced lawyers can assist with the specifics.
