Auto Injury

A driver has a duty to use reasonable care to avoid injuring anyone he or she meets on the road. If a driver fails to use reasonable care, and as a result of that failure you are injured, then the driver is responsible or liable to you for those injuries.

In the past, the rule was that if you could prove that the other driver contributed in any way to the accident, he or she could be totally barred from recovering anything from you. But now most states have rejected such harsh results and instead look at the comparative fault of the drivers.

If a jury finds that you were negligent and that your negligence proportionally contributed 25% to cause the Injury, and that the defendant was 75% at fault, the defendant would be only responsible for 75% of your damages, or $75,000, if your damages totaled, say, $100,000. In some states, the plaintiff may recover even if he or she were more negligent than the defendant, that is, negligent in the amount of 51% or more.

Common carriers; bus lines, airlines, and railroads, transport people for a fee, and owe their passengers the highest degree of care and are held to have a special responsibility to their passengers. Common carriers must exercise extra caution in protecting their riders, and do everything they can to keep them safe.
