These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

Comparative Fault
In the event of a car crash, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault an injured party is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your lawyer must prove.
The majority of states have some version of a a comparative blame rule, which permits victims to claim compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be lowered by the degree of fault.

There are two distinct kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This rules out an injured party from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50 percent. It is a rule that is followed by some states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99 per cent at fault.

In most instances, the person who was injured in a car accident can file a lawsuit. These lawsuits must, however, be filed within the timeframe of limitations, or else the victim's claim will be forever barred.
The statute of limitation does not affect whether or not an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case.
