Motor Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle collision cases, the plaintiff's amount is reduced by their percentage of fault. The jury will decide this in accordance with the evidence they receive.

To be liable for a personal injury, the defendant must be negligent at the time of the incident. The degree of liability is determined by the degree to which the negligence contributed to the accident.

Liability

The goal of a motor accident claim is to collect damages for the injuries and losses caused by the negligence of a third party. Unless the injured person lives in one of the states that operate under a no fault insurance system and a trucking accident lawsuit must demonstrate that the defendant's negligent actions or failure to act caused a collision and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining whether the driver who was at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accident cases hinge on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's negligence in accordance with tort liability principles. This includes a defendant’s obligation to the victim, the defendant's violation of this duty direct and real causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also help analyze liability in situations in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle are involved in a lawsuit. Most automobile insurance policies contain an affirmative guarantee of coverage to anyone operating the vehicle under the owner's permission subject to certain exclusions. This analysis often includes reviewing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will prove the damages incurred by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough evidence of the expenses which are incurred, and also the loss that is expected due to the injuries suffered. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.

The former is used to cover things like medical expenses and lost income as well as compensation for intangibles, such as pain and suffering. It is difficult to determine an amount of money on the non-economic damage, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your lawyer will help to determine your damages using a variety of methods. This could include retaining accident reconstruction experts who will look over police reports, photos witness statements, and other evidence in order to reconstruct the accident.

Your lawyer will also aid your claim by getting expert opinions that detail the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. These will include estimates of future healthcare and support costs, wage projections, and other financial considerations. This is necessary to ensure that you are fully compensated for any losses that you have suffered and encounter in the near future.

Comparative Fault

A system called comparative fault - or contributory negligence, determines the amount of fault an injured person can be held responsible for a car crash. It's a crucial issue in many cases and something your lawyer may need to prove.

Most states have a form of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of blame is an accident. However, the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to the degree of fault. If, for example an appeals court awards $100,000 for your injuries, but decides that you are 40% responsible, you will only receive $60,000.

There are two distinct kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent. It is followed by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation is known as pure comparative fault. It allows victims to claim damages even if they are found to be at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In the majority of instances, a person injured in a car crash can make a claim. However the lawsuits must be filed within the period of time, also known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred forever.

The statute of limitation does not affect whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the event that triggered the case, the incident or accident that caused the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock starts to tick is crucial for the proper application of this important legal rule.

In New York, people who are injured in car crashes generally have three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. In some cases the timeline may be shortened. For instance, in cases where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is suspended until the child becomes legally emancipated after marriage or reaching age 18, which is usually two years following the accident. There are other circumstances, and a seasoned attorney can give advice on the particulars.
