In a car wreck, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that the injured party is accountable for. It's a key issue in a lot of cases and something that your attorney might have to prove.

Most states have a form of comparative fault rule which allows victims to be compensated even if their share of the blame is for an accident.

For instance when a jury gives you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent at fault, you will receive only $60,000.

There are two types of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent.
