Motor Vehicle Litigation

When a claim for liability is litigated then it is necessary to bring a lawsuit. The defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, if a jury finds that you are responsible for an accident, your damages will be reduced according to your percentage of fault. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are which are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed the duty of care toward them. This duty is due to all people, however those who operate a vehicle owe an even higher duty to other people in their field. This includes not causing motor vehicle accident attorneys vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms, the quality of care is determined by comparing the actions of an individual to what a normal person would do in the same conditions. In cases of medical malpractice experts are often required. People who have superior knowledge in a particular field can 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 is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of their duty resulted in the damage and injury they suffered. Causation is a key element of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the proximate and real causes of the injury and damages.

If someone is driving through an stop sign and fails to obey the stop sign, they could be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be accountable for the repairs. The reason for a crash could be caused by a brick cut that develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by a defendant is the second element of negligence that must be proved in order to secure compensation in a personal injury suit. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the at-fault person fall short of what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician has several professional duties to his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Motorists are required to show care to other motorists and pedestrians to be safe and follow traffic laws. When a driver breaches this duty of care and causes an accident, he is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

Lawyers can use the "reasonable persons" standard to prove that there is a duty to be cautious and then show that the defendant did not adhere to this standard in his actions. The jury will determine if the defendant met or did not meet the standards.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the primary cause for his or her injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. A defendant could have run through a red light, but that's not the cause of the bicycle accident. For this reason, causation is often contested by the defendants in case of a crash.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to his neck in an accident that involved rear-ends the lawyer could claim that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that contributed to the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable, and will not impact the jury's decision to determine the degree of fault.

It is possible to prove a causal link between a negligent act, and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with their parents, was a user of alcohol and drugs or prior unemployment could have a influence on the severity of the psychological issues he or is suffering from following an accident, however, the courts typically consider these factors as part of the context that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff can recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that can be easily added up and calculated as a sum, such as medical expenses, lost wages, property repair and even future financial losses, like a diminished earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, including pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. These damages must be proved by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff medical records, depositions, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of damages that must be divided between them. The jury must determine how much fault each defendant had for the accident, and then divide the total damages award by the percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule in relation to injuries suffered by driver of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissiveness applies is complex and typically only a clear showing that the owner explicitly refused permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
