Courtrooms assess an individual's actions to what a typical person would do in similar conditions to determine reasonable standards of care. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required in cases involving medical negligence.

Motorists have a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians on the road to be safe and follow traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this obligation of care and causes an accident, he is liable for the victim's injuries.

Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then show that the defendant failed to meet that standard in his actions. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide if the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach by the defendant was the sole cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For example, a defendant may have crossed a red line, however, the act wasn't the proximate reason for your bicycle crash. The issue of causation is often challenged in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If the plaintiff sustained a neck injury in an accident with rear-end damage the attorney for the plaintiff would argue that the collision was the reason for the injury. Other factors that are necessary to cause the collision, like being in a stationary car is not culpable and will not influence the jury's decision to determine the degree of fault.

It is possible to establish a causal link between an act of negligence and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. It may be because the plaintiff has a rocky past, has a difficult relationship with their parents, or has been a user of alcohol or drugs.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. However, these damages must be proven to exist with the help of extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony from the plaintiff's family members and close friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically employ comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages that should be divided between them. The jury must determine the amount of fault each defendant incurred in the incident and then divide the total amount of damages by that percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 does not exempt vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in the event of injuries sustained by drivers of cars or trucks. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is complicated and typically only a clear showing that the owner has explicitly denied permission to operate the car will overcome it.
