New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, should a jury find you to be at fault for an accident, your damages will be reduced according to your percentage of fault. This rule does not apply to owners of vehicles that are rented or leased out to minors.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty committed by the defendant. This must be proved for compensation for a personal injury claim. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault person do not match what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.

A doctor, for instance, has a number of professional duties towards his patients, which stem from laws of the state and licensing bodies. Drivers have a duty to protect other motorists and pedestrians, and to obey traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty of the defendant was the main cause of his or her injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For instance, a defendant may have been a motorist who ran a red light, however, the act was not the primary cause of the crash. For this reason, causation is frequently disputed by the defendants in case of a crash.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. If a plaintiff suffers neck injuries in a rear-end accident then his or her attorney would argue that the collision was the reason for the injury. Other factors necessary to cause the collision, like being in a stationary car are not culpable and won't affect the jury’s determination of the fault.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically employ comparative fault rules to determine the amount of total damages that should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine how much responsibility each defendant incurred in the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are suffered by drivers of cars or trucks.
