In the event of a car crash, the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame an injured party is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your attorney will have to prove.

Most states use some form of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they are a part of the blame for an accident.
