motor vehicle accident attorney Vehicle Litigation

When a claim for liability is litigated and the liability is disputed, it is necessary to file a lawsuit. The Defendant has the right to respond to the Complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules and, in the event that a jury finds that you are responsible for causing the accident, your damages award will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles that are rented or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. This duty is owed by all people, however those who operate vehicles owe an even higher duty to other drivers in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms examine an individual's conduct to what a typical individual would do under similar circumstances to determine an acceptable standard of care. Expert witnesses are often required in cases of medical malpractice. Experts who have a greater understanding of the field could be held to a greater standard of treatment.

When someone breaches their duty of care, it can cause harm to the victim and/or their property. The victim must demonstrate that the defendant did not fulfill their duty and caused the injury or damage that they suffered. Proving causation is an essential aspect of any negligence claim and requires taking into consideration both the real causes of the injury damages and the proximate reason for the damage or injury.

For instance, if a driver runs a red light, it's likely that they'll be struck by a car. If their car is damaged they'll be accountable for the repairs. The actual cause of the crash could be a brick cut which develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by the defendant is the second factor of negligence that must be proved in order to receive compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the at-fault party are not in line with what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients stemming from laws of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to take care of other drivers and pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this duty of care and creates an accident, he is accountable for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then demonstrate that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. It is a matter of fact for the jury to decide if the defendant met the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant may have run through a red light but that's not what caused the accident on your bicycle. The issue of causation is often challenged in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish that there is a causal connection between the breach by the defendant and their injuries. For example, if the plaintiff sustained neck injuries as a result of a rear-end collision and their lawyer could claim that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle are not considered to be culpable and will not affect the jury's determination of fault.

For psychological injuries However, the connection between a negligent act and an affected plaintiff's symptoms can be more difficult to establish. It could be because the plaintiff has a turbulent past, has a difficult relationship with their parents, or has been a user of alcohol or drugs.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident it is crucial to speak with an experienced attorney. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury as well as commercial and business litigation and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have established working relationships with independent doctors across a variety of specialties including expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations as well as with private investigators.

Damages

The damages plaintiffs can seek in a motor vehicle accident attorneys vehicle lawsuit include both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages covers all monetary costs which can be easily added together and then calculated into a total, for example, medical treatments and lost wages, repairs to property, or even a future financial losses, such as loss of earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages, such as the suffering of others and the loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. However, these damages must be established to exist using extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close friends and family members medical records, deposition testimony, and other expert witness testimony.

In cases involving multiple defendants, Courts will often use the concept of comparative negligence to decide the proportion of damages award should be allocated between them. This requires the jury to determine how much fault each defendant incurred in the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage of the fault. However, New York law 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries sustained by the driver of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive use applies is not straightforward, and typically only a clear evidence that the owner specifically did not have permission to operate his vehicle will be able to overcome it.
