This rule apportions a percentage of liability to each driver involved in an accident. A driver who committed a traffic violation by failing to yield to oncoming traffic, speeding through a red light, or failing to maintain a safe driving distance may be found liable. Anyone whose fault is above 50% is barred from recovering damages.
