motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is necessary in cases where liability is challenged. The defendant has the right to respond to the Complaint.

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

Duty of Care

In a negligence lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. This duty is owed to all, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even greater duty to other drivers in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions to what a typical individual would do in similar circumstances to establish what is reasonable standards of care. Expert witnesses are frequently required in cases involving medical negligence. People who have superior knowledge in a specific field could also be held to an higher standard of care than others in similar situations.

If someone violates their duty of care, it may cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim must show that the defendant's infringement of duty caused the damage and injury they have suffered. Causation is a crucial element of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the proximate and actual causes of the injury and damages.

If someone is driving through an intersection, they are likely to be hit by another vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be accountable for the repairs. The cause of a crash could be caused by a brick cut that causes an infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by the defendant. This must be proved for compensation for a personal injury claim. A breach of duty happens when the actions of a party who is at fault aren't in line with what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician has several professional duties to his patients based on laws of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to take care of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to adhere to traffic laws. If a driver violates this duty of care and results in an accident, the driver is responsible for the injury suffered by the victim.

Lawyers can use the "reasonable individuals" standard to prove that there is a duty to be cautious and then show that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant met the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also establish that the defendant's breach of duty was the primary cause of the injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant could have driven through a red light, but that's not what caused your bicycle accident. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle accidents, the plaintiff must prove a causal link between the defendant's breach and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffers neck injuries in an accident with rear-end damage the attorney for the plaintiff will argue that the incident was the reason for the injury. Other elements that are required in causing the collision such as being in a stationary car, are not culpable and do not affect the jury's determination of liability.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between negligence and the affected plaintiff's symptoms can be more difficult to establish. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with their parents, was a user of drugs and alcohol or experienced prior unemployment could have a influence on the severity the psychological problems he or suffers from following a crash, but the courts typically view these elements as part of the background circumstances that caused the accident arose rather than an independent cause of the injuries.

If you have been in an accident that is serious to your vehicle it is essential to speak with a seasoned attorney. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in motor vehicle accident cases, business and commercial litigation, and personal injury cases. Our lawyers have established working relationships with independent doctors in many areas of expertise as well as expert witnesses in computer simulations and reconstruction of accident.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff may be able to recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first type of damages covers any monetary costs that can easily be added to calculate a total, for example, medical treatment, lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses, like a decrease in earning capacity.

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

In cases involving multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must decide the amount of fault each defendant carries for the accident and then divide the total amount of damages awarded by the percentage. However, New York law 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are sustained by the drivers of trucks or cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is not straightforward and typically only a clear showing that the owner specifically did not have permission to operate his vehicle will overcome it.
