Comparative Fault

Most states implement some form of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on the level of fault. For instance the case where a judge decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent at fault, you would only receive $60,000.

The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which blocks the victim from claiming damages when they are more 50% at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. The other variant is called pure comparative fault, which allows victims to claim damages even if they are found to be at fault.

There are exceptions to this and seasoned lawyers can help you understand the particulars.
