Damages

These are referred to as non-economic and economic damages.

Comparative Fault
In a car accident the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured person is responsible for. This is a major issue in a variety of cases and something that your attorney might be required to prove.
Many states have a type of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of blame is an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on their degree of fault. So, for example If a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40% in the wrong, you'd only get $60,000.
But the law is more complex than that since there are two distinct types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is referred to as the 50 bar rule, which prohibits the victim from receiving damages if they are more than 50% at the fault. This is the practice of a few states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99% at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of cases, a person who is injured in a car accident is entitled to file a lawsuit against the party who caused the accident. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a specified time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim will be forfeited and barred for life.
The statute of limitation is not a factor in whether or not an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the first event that initiated the case, or the incident or accident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to run is essential for compliance with this important rule.

There are other exceptions and experienced lawyers can provide advice on the specifics.
