Law firm brochure
The value of each case depends on the type of case and the amount of insurance available. For example, in car accidents, many drivers only have the basic liability insurance in New York which is usually $25,000. An injury that occurred in a car accident may be valued "less" than in another type of accident simply because there is a minimal insurance policy that a plaintiff's attorney can go after.
The value of your case will also depend on whether you were "contributory negligent", whether you had any pre-existing injuries, your age and whether you lost time from work, and what county the case is venued in, among other things.

contribuido a causar el accidente (culpa concurrente)
Lo pondría así para que el lector lo entienda bien: "...dependerá de que usted haya contribuido a causar el accidente (culpa concurrente), ..."
Entre paréntesis pondría el concepto jurídico. Lo más utilizado en español es concurrencia de culpas o culpa concurrente. Por ejemplo, para México: http://sjf.scjn.gob.mx/SJFSist/Paginas/DetalleGeneralV2.aspx...

Discussion
lack of care by a plaintiff for his own safety. (In the USA the term comparative negligence is sometimes used.) Before the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945, negligence on the part of the party suing was a complete defence, however insignificant it was in the whole picture. The Act allowed a proportion of the damages to be reduced to reflect the plaintiff's fault. Children can be held to be contributorily negligent.
