Motor 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 that you were at fault for an accident the damages you incur will be reduced according to your percentage of blame. There is an exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles that are rented or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed a duty of care towards them. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, however those who take the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle are obligated to others in their area of activity. This includes not causing accidents in motor vehicles.

In courtrooms, the quality of care is determined by comparing an individual's actions against what a normal individual would do in similar situations. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts with more experience in the field could be held to a greater standard of treatment.

A breach of a person's duty of care could cause harm to the victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant breached their duty of care and caused the injury or damage they sustained. Causation is a crucial element of any negligence claim. It requires proof of both the primary and secondary causes of the damage and injury.

If a person is stopped at a stop sign and fails to obey the stop sign, they could be hit by another vehicle. If their car is damaged they'll be responsible for repairs. However, the real cause of the accident could be a cut or a brick that later develops into a potentially dangerous infection.

Breach of Duty

A defendant's breach of duty is the second factor of negligence that must be proven to win compensation in a personal injury suit. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault person fall short of what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.

For instance, a doctor has a variety of professional obligations to his patients based on laws of the state and licensing boards. Motorists are required to show care to other drivers and pedestrians on the road to drive safely and observe traffic laws. If a driver violates this obligation of care and results in an accident, the driver is responsible for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable individuals" standard to show that there is a duty to be cautious and then prove that the defendant did not adhere to this standard in his conduct. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant complied with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the breach by the defendant was the sole 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 wasn't what caused the accident on your bicycle. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If the plaintiff suffered neck injuries in an accident with rear-end damage then his or her attorney would argue that the accident was the reason for the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, like being in a stationary car are not culpable and will not impact the jury's determination of the fault.

It can be difficult to establish a causal connection between a negligent action and the psychological symptoms of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with his or her parents, experimented with drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological problems he or she suffers after a crash, but the courts typically look at these factors as part of the background circumstances that caused the accident in which the plaintiff resulted rather than an independent cause of the injuries.

Damages

The damages that plaintiffs can seek in a motor vehicle accident vehicle lawsuit include both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages includes the costs of monetary value that are easily added together and calculated into an overall amount, including medical treatments or lost wages, repair to property, and even future financial loss, such a diminished earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain, and loss of enjoyment of living cannot be reduced to monetary value. However these damages must be proven to exist using extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts will often use comparative fault rules to determine the amount of total damages to be divided between them. The jury has to determine the percentage of blame each defendant is accountable for the incident and then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage. New York law however, doesn't allow this. 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the rule of comparative negligence in the event of injuries sustained by drivers of trucks or cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is complex and typically only a convincing evidence that the owner was explicitly denied permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
