There is a slight exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles hired or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, but those who take the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have a higher obligation to the other drivers in their zone of operation. This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms assess an individual's actions with what a normal person would do under similar conditions to determine a reasonable standard of care. Expert witnesses are frequently required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts who are knowledgeable in a particular field may be held to the highest standards of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A breach of a person's duty of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim then has to prove that the defendant breached their duty of care and caused the injury or damage they sustained. Causation proof is a crucial aspect of any negligence case, and it involves looking at both the actual causes of the injury damages as well as the reason for the injury or damage.

If a driver is caught running an stop sign then they are more likely to be struck by another vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be accountable for the repairs. The actual cause of a crash could be a brick cut that develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by the defendant is the second aspect of negligence that has to be proved in order to receive compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty happens when the actions of the party at fault aren't in line with what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example has a variety of professional duties towards his patients that are derived from the law of the state and licensing authorities. Motorists are required to show care to other drivers and pedestrians to drive safely and observe traffic laws. If a motorist violates this obligation of care and results in an accident, he is responsible for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can use "reasonable people" standard to demonstrate that there is a duty of care and then demonstrate that defendant did not meet this standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant complied with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty of the defendant was the primary cause for his or her injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For instance it is possible that a defendant been a motorist who ran a red light, but the action wasn't the proximate cause of the crash. The issue of causation is often challenged in crash cases by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle accident lawsuit vehicle cases the plaintiff must establish a causal link between breach of the defendant and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff sustained a neck injury from a rear-end collision, his or her lawyer will argue that the accident caused the injury. Other factors that are necessary to cause the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle is not culpable and will not influence the jury's decision to determine the fault.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and an injured plaintiff's symptoms could be more difficult to establish. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with their parents, abused alcohol and drugs or previous unemployment may have some impact on the severity of the psychological problems he or suffers following an accident, but courts typically view these elements as part of the circumstances that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury arose rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

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

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine the percentage of damages awarded should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine how much responsibility each defendant was responsible for the accident and then divide the total damages award by that percentage of blame. New York law however, does not allow for this. 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative negligence rule in cases where injuries are sustained by drivers of trucks or cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive use applies is complicated and typically only a clear evidence that the owner explicitly did not have permission to operate his car will be sufficient to overcome it.
