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

If, for example an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for Motor Vehicle Accidents your injuries, but decides that you're at 40 percent responsible, you will only receive $60,000.
However, the law is more complex than that, as there are two distinct kinds of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents the injured party from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50%. It is followed by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah.
