There are two kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which bars the victim from receiving damages in cases where they are more than 50 percent at fault.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. In some cases the timeframe can be reduced.
