What Is a Motor Vehicle Case?

A motor vehicle accidents vehicle lawsuit is any personal injury lawsuit involving a motor vehicle accident. While the majority of cases are governed by common law concepts but there are some legal issues which are unique to this area.

Under New York law, owners of vehicles are accountable for accidents that occur when their vehicles are being operated with their consent, whether express or implied. Our legal team handles these cases as a contingency basis.

Eyewitness Testimony

Eyewitness testimony can provide an excellent addition to other evidence in a motor vehicle case. This type of testimony often assists in identifying the criminal or provide information about how the crash took place. However there is a huge research that indicates that eyewitness testimony can be wildly inaccurate.

For example, witnesses are prone to making mistakes when they try to recall the color of an object or its shape. Perceptual distortions like fading memories, can also make a person forget an moment.

Additionally, the memory of witnesses can be distorted by leading questions or other information given to witnesses. For example, researchers in one study found that asking participants to estimate the speed at which the car was moving influenced their answers. Other factors that impact the accuracy of eyewitness accounts include age levels, attention, skill as well as stress, health conditions and prejudice.

While many experts will insist on the credibility of eyewitness testimony, it's vital to inform jurors and law enforcement agencies members about the possibility of mistakes. In some cases, eyewitness testimony that was not accurate has led to wrongful convictions or even murder. In 2018, the Innocence Project proved that the fingerprints on a cup, which a witness used to identify a suspect during a burglary, were not Royal Clark's.

Vehicle Inspection

In general inspections of vehicles are required each year. Certain vehicles may need to be regularly inspected for instance, those that are being sold privately or those that have an inspection sticker that has expired. It is also mandatory in certain situations, like when residents of New York moves and needs to change their address, it is required that their vehicle is inspected before the new stickers are issued.

When an inspector conducts an inspection, they begin by confirming some details, such as the car's make and model as well as the date of registration and the odometer's reading, and so on. They then begin to examine the vehicle's interior, beginning with the obvious areas such as the mirrors, lights, windshields and horn. There are various checklists that assure that a thorough inspection of the vehicle has been conducted, which includes inspecting things like rust and suspension parts.

Drivers are expected to remain alert on the road and to look out for pedestrians, other drivers, and potential hazards. Inability to do this could be construed as negligence. It is also the driver's obligation to maintain control of their vehicle at all times. A defective vehicle may cause the vehicle to lose control, which could result in serious injuries. The manufacturer of the vehicle could also be held responsible for the accident in the event that it was caused by an automobile defect or component part.

Components or Parts that are defective

To make a car function correctly, thousands of tiny mechanical parts and electrical components have to work together. If one of these parts fails, the results can be catastrophic. Most often, these accidents are caused by manufacturing defects or other issues in the construction or design of a specific part. When a malfunctioning car part is the reason for an accident, the person responsible could be responsible for compensating the victims of the crash for their injuries.

Many people believe that the majority of auto accidents are caused human error. While 94 % of car crashes result from driver error but there are other causes that can cause a crash such as road conditions and defective auto parts.

Defective auto parts include brakes and tires, seatbelts and airbags or any other component which is unable to perform as intended, leading to an accident. These defects can be the result of parts purchased from an aftermarket store that were not constructed as well as the original components on a car. Other times, the defect is in the initial design of a specific part.

Manufacturers are required to create vehicles that meet the minimum safety standards. If the vehicle, or any of its parts, was not designed or constructed to meet these standards, the manufacturer may be held liable for any damage resulting from an accident caused by a defective part.

Insurance Coverage

The majority of states have an insurance system called tort liability that requires drivers to be insured in the event their actions or negligence causes injury to others. Liability insurance covers bodily injury liability and property damage liability.

The bodily injury liability covers your medical expenses and those of others who are injured by your car in an accident, up to the limit of your policy. Typically there is a separate limit for each victim and a single limit for the total amount of property damage. Certain insurance companies offer policies that have higher limits for these types of damages.

Insurance for property damage will repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged by something other than a collision with a vehicle or object, such as windstorm, fire, theft and the impact of a deer. It could also cover damage to your car from driving over potholes. This type of insurance is required in New York and some other states.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) is required in a number of states, although certain states require it only if the at-fault driver does not have insurance or has inadequate insurance. This coverage will reimburse you or your passengers for medical and property damages when the at-fault driver has no insurance, is uninsured, or involved in a hit and run accident.
