Liability
The purpose of a motor accident claim is to seek compensation from the party who caused the damages and injuries caused by their negligence.

Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough evidence of the expenses that are incurred, as well as the future loss expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.

Comparative Fault
A system referred to as comparative fault - also known as contributory negligence determines the extent to which an injured person could be held responsible for a car crash. It's a crucial issue in a lot of cases and one that your attorney could need to prove.
Most states use some kind of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by the level of responsibility. For instance, if the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you are at least 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.
But the law is more complicated than that as there are two distinct types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50 percent. It is used by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages in the event that they're found to be 99% responsible.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of cases, an injured person in a car crash can sue. However these lawsuits must be filed within the time frame, known as the statute of limitations or the claim of the victim will be barred and forfeited for ever.
The statute of limitations has nothing to determine whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle it, and has it is all about the trigger event in the case-the incident or accident that caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to tick is crucial for complying with this important rule.
