To be held accountable for an injury, the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is based on the degree to which negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The aim of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to seek compensation from the other party in exchange for losses and injuries caused by their negligence. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking crash will require that the injured party prove that the negligent actions of the defendant or inaction resulted in a collision and the bodily injury that resulted from it.

Damages

This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation of out-of-pocket expenses incurred as well as future losses that are expected to result from the injuries sustained. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things such as medical bills and lost earnings, while the second is compensation for more intangible things such as pain and suffering. It can be difficult to quantify a dollar amount on non-economic losses, like mental distress and loss of enjoyment.

Your lawyer will assist in the calculation of your damages by making use of a variety of methods. This includes hiring accident reconstruction experts who will examine photographs of the scene, police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to reconstruct how the accident occurred.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame an injured person is responsible for. It's a crucial issue in a variety of cases and one that your attorney could be required to prove.

Most states adopt some type of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to seek compensation even if share the blame for an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by the level of responsibility. If, for example the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries but finds that you're at 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.

However, the law is much more complex than that as there are two distinct forms of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out the injured party from receiving compensation if they are responsible for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99 percent responsible.

Statute of Limitations

In the majority of instances, an individual who has been injured in a car crash can sue. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a specified time frame, known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is forfeited and barred for life.
