In Maine, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is generally 6 years. However, it’s important to note that this deadline could be shorter in specific cases, and building a case takes time, so don’t wait to get started.
Maine operates under a “fault” system when it comes to auto insurance and car accident liability, meaning that the at-fault driver is responsible for compensating the other party.
In Maine, the modified comparative negligence rule means that if you are involved in an accident and found to be less than 50% at fault, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries and damages. However, if you are determined to hold equal or greater fault in the accident, you will not be eligible to receive compensation.
If you are found to have contributed to the accident through negligence or other factors, it can impact the amount of compensation you are entitled to receive. For example, if you are deemed to be 20% at fault for the accident, the compensation you receive may be reduced by 20% to account for your share of the responsibility.
