motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is required in cases where liability is challenged. The defendant then has the chance to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, should a jury find you to be responsible for an accident the damages you incur will be reduced based on your percentage of blame. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence, the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed the duty of care towards them. The majority of people owe this obligation to everyone else, however those who are behind the car have a greater obligation to the other drivers in their zone of operation. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms assess an individual's actions with what a normal person would do in the same circumstances to determine what constitutes reasonable standards of care. Expert witnesses are frequently required in cases of medical malpractice. Experts with more experience in particular fields may be held to a greater standard of care.

When someone breaches their duty of care, they could cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim must prove that the defendant breached their duty and caused the harm or damages they sustained. Proving causation is a critical element in any negligence case which involves investigating both the primary causes of the injury damages and the proximate reason for the damage or injury.

If someone runs an stop sign, they are likely to be hit by a car. If their car is damaged, they will need to pay for repairs. However, the real cause of the crash might be a cut in bricks, which later turn into a deadly infection.

Breach of Duty

A defendant's breach of duty is the second element of negligence that needs to be proved in order to secure compensation in a personal injury suit. A breach of duty happens when the actions of the person at fault are not in line with what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician has a variety of professional obligations to his patients, arising from the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to protect other motorists and pedestrians, and obey traffic laws. A driver who breaches this duty and creates an accident is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable individuals" standard to prove that there is a duty to be cautious and then show that defendant did not meet this standard in his conduct. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant was in compliance with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the defendant's breach was the direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For instance, a defendant may have crossed a red line, but it's likely that his or her actions wasn't the main cause of your bike crash. This is why causation is frequently disputed by defendants in crash cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. For instance, if the plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends, his or her lawyer would argue that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable, and will not impact the jury’s determination of the cause of the accident.

It may be harder to prove a causal link between a negligent action and the plaintiff's psychological problems. It may be that the plaintiff has a rocky past, has a difficult relationship with their parents, or has abused alcohol or drugs.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident It is imperative to consult with an experienced attorney. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury, commercial and business litigation and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have developed working relationships with independent doctors in a variety of areas of expertise as well as expert witnesses in computer simulations and accident reconstruction.

Damages

The damages plaintiffs can seek in motor vehicle litigation include both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages covers all costs that are easily added together and then calculated into a total, such as medical expenses as well as lost wages, repairs to property, and even future financial loss, for instance the loss of earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages such as suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment of life are not able to be reduced to monetary value. These damages must be established through extensive evidence like depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff or medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts will typically apply the rules of comparative fault to determine the amount of total damages that must be divided between them. The jury has to determine the proportion of fault each defendant carries for the incident and then divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. However, New York law 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule in relation to injuries suffered by driver of these trucks and cars. The process of determining whether the presumption is permissive is complex. In general, only a clear demonstration that the owner denied permission to the driver to operate the vehicle can overcome the presumption.
