motor vehicle accident attorneys Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is required when liability is in dispute. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that in the event that a jury finds you responsible for an accident the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. This rule does not apply to the owners of vehicles that are that are rented or leased out to minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant was bound by the duty of care towards them. This duty is due to everyone, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even higher duty to other drivers in their field. This includes ensuring that there are no accidents in motor vehicles.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions to what a typical person would do in the same circumstances to determine a reasonable standard of care. This is why expert witnesses are often required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts who have a superior understanding in a specific field could be held to a higher standard of care than others in similar situations.

When someone breaches their duty of care, it could cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of their duty resulted in the harm and damages they suffered. Causation proof is a crucial aspect of any negligence claim and requires considering both the actual reason for the injury or damages as well as the proximate cause of the damage or injury.

For instance, if a person runs a red light there is a good chance that they will be hit by another car. If their car is damaged they will be responsible for the repairs. However, the real cause of the crash could be a cut on the brick, which then develops into a serious infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by the defendant. It must be proven in order to receive compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty happens when the actions of the person at fault do not match what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example, has a number of professional duties towards his patients. These professional obligations stem from laws of the state and licensing bodies. Drivers have a duty to take care of other drivers and pedestrians, and to adhere to traffic laws. When a driver breaches this duty of care and results in an accident, he is accountable for the injury suffered by the victim.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then prove that the defendant failed to meet the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant complied with or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the main cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have run through a red light however, that's not the reason for the bicycle accident. The issue of causation is often challenged in cases of crash by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. For example, if the plaintiff sustained a neck injury from a rear-end collision, his or her lawyer might claim that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are necessary to produce the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable and will not affect the jury's determination of liability.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and an injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. It could be the case that the plaintiff has a troubled past, a poor relationship with their parents, or has been a user of drugs or alcohol.

If you've been involved in an accident that is serious to your vehicle, it is important to consult an experienced attorney.

Damages

The damages a plaintiff can recover in motor vehicle litigation can include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages encompasses all costs that can easily be summed up and calculated as a total, for example, medical treatments or lost wages, repair to property, and even the possibility of future financial losses, such as diminished earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain, and loss of enjoyment of living can't be reduced to monetary value. However the damages must be proved to exist with the help of extensive evidence, including deposition testimony of the plaintiff's family members and close friends, medical records, and other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of total damages that should be divided between them. The jury must determine the proportion of fault each defendant has for the incident, and divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. However, New York law 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the rule of comparative negligence in the event of injuries sustained by drivers of cars or trucks. The method of determining if the presumption of permissiveness is complex. The majority of the time the only way to prove that the owner was not able to grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will be sufficient to overturn the presumption.
