Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages sustained by plaintiff.

These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

Comparative Fault

In the event of a car crash, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault the injured party is accountable for. This is a major issue in a variety of cases and one that your attorney could have to prove.

Most states implement some version of a a comparative blame rule, which permits victims to pursue compensation even if they share in the blame for an accident.

In most instances, a person who is injured in a car crash is allowed to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the crash. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the timeframe of limitations or the claim of the victim will be barred forever.
