1. Comparative Negligence: In some jurisdictions, the legal concept of comparative negligence applies. Under this principle, each party involved in an accident is assigned a percentage of fault based on their actions and conduct that contributed to the accident. If the person who is found to be at fault in a car accident is determined to have less than a certain threshold of negligence (typically 50%), they may not be held liable for the accident.
2.Contributory Negligence: In jurisdictions that follow the contributory negligence rule, if the person who is injured in the accident is found to have contributed to the accident in any way, then they cannot recover any damages from the other party, regardless of the other party's negligence.
