Most states adopt some type of a comparative fault rule, which allows victims to seek compensation even if have a share of the blame in an accident. However, the amount of their settlement will be lowered by their degree of fault. If, for instance, a jury awards $100,000 for your injuries, and then determines that you are 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.

This bar rule blocks an injured person from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent. This is the practice of some states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99 per cent responsible.
