Motor motor vehicle accident law firms Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is necessary when liability is in dispute. The Defendant has the right to respond to the Complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that if the jury finds that you are responsible for causing a crash the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is a caveat to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are which are rented or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, however those who sit behind the car have an even higher duty to others in their area of operation. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicle accident vehicles.
In courtrooms the standard of care is determined by comparing an individual's conduct against what a normal individual would do under similar circumstances. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts who have a greater understanding of the field could be held to a greater standard of care.
If a person violates their duty of care, it can cause damage to the victim as well as their property. The victim has to show that the defendant violated their duty and caused the harm or damages they suffered. Causation is an essential element of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the actual and proximate causes of the injuries and damages.
For example, if someone is stopped at a red light then it's likely that they'll be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for the repairs. The actual cause of the crash could be a fracture in the brick that leads to an 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 case. A breach of duty is when the actions of the person at fault fall short of what a normal person would do in similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance, has a variety of professional obligations to his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are bound to be considerate of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. If a driver violates this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is liable for the injuries sustained by the victim.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of the duty of care, and then demonstrate that the defendant did not meet that standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant met or did not meet the standard.
The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. For instance an individual defendant could have run a red light but the action was not the primary cause of the crash. Causation is often contested in cases of crash by defendants.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends the lawyer might argue that the accident caused the injury. Other factors that are essential for the collision to occur, like being in a stationary vehicle, are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's decision of the liability.
For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and the injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. It may be the case that the plaintiff has had a difficult background, a strained relationship with their parents, or has been a user of drugs or alcohol.

Damages
In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff can get both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages covers any monetary costs that can easily be added to calculate a sum, such as medical treatment loss of wages, property repairs, and even future financial losses like a diminished earning capacity.
New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, like suffering and pain, and loss of enjoyment, cannot be reduced to money. However the damages must be established to exist using extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony from the plaintiff's family members and close friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine how much of the total damages awarded should be split between them. The jury must determine how much responsibility each defendant incurred in the accident, and then divide the total amount of damages by that percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the comparative negligence rule in the event of injuries sustained by drivers of trucks or cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use is applicable is a bit nebulous and typically only a convincing evidence that the owner was explicitly did not have permission to operate his vehicle will be able to overcome it.
