Motor Vehicle Litigation

If the liability is challenged and the liability is disputed, it is necessary to bring a lawsuit. The defendant has the option to respond to the Complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that if the jury finds you responsible for the crash the damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. This rule does not apply to the owners of vehicles that are that are rented or leased out to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the defendant was obligated to exercise reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, but individuals who get behind the car have a greater obligation to the other drivers in their zone of activity. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms the standard of care is determined by comparing the actions of an individual against what a normal individual would do under similar conditions. Expert witnesses are often required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts who have a superior understanding in a particular field can also be held to the highest standards of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A person's breach of their duty of care may cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim is then required to demonstrate that the defendant did not fulfill their duty and caused the injury or damages they suffered. Causation is a crucial element of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the actual and proximate causes of the injuries and damages.

For instance, if a driver runs a red stop sign then it's likely that they'll be struck by a car. If their car is damaged, they will have to pay for the repairs. The reason for the crash might be a cut in bricks, which later turn into a dangerous infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by a defendant is the second factor of negligence that must be proved to obtain compensation in a personal injury claim. A breach of duty is when the actions taken by the person at fault are insufficient to what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.

For instance, a doctor has a variety of professional duties towards his patients, which stem from laws of the state and licensing bodies. Motorists owe a duty care to other motorists and pedestrians to drive safely and obey traffic laws. If a motorist violates this obligation of care and causes an accident, he is liable for the injury suffered by the victim.

Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of the duty of care, and then demonstrate that the defendant failed to satisfy the standard through his actions. The jury will determine if the defendant met or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also establish that the defendant's breach of duty was the primary cause of his or her injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. For instance the defendant could have crossed a red line, however, the act wasn't the main cause of the crash. For this reason, causation is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If the plaintiff sustained neck injuries as a result of a rear-end accident, his or her attorney would argue that the accident was the cause of the injury. Other factors that contributed to the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable and will not affect the jury's decision on the fault.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between an act of negligence and an affected plaintiff's symptoms can be more difficult to establish. It may be that the plaintiff has a turbulent background, a strained relationship with their parents, or is a user of alcohol or drugs.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident It is imperative to consult with an experienced attorney. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury cases, business and commercial litigation and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have formed working relationships with independent medical professionals with a variety of specialties as well as expert witnesses in accidents reconstruction and computer simulations, as well as with private investigators.

Damages

The damages a plaintiff can recover in a motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle case include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages covers all monetary costs which can easily be summed up and calculated into an overall amount, including medical treatment or lost wages, repair to property, or even a future financial loss, such the loss of 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. However the damages must be proven to exist with the help of extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's family members and close friends, medical records, and other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of damages to be split between them. This requires the jury to determine the degree of fault each defendant incurred in the accident, and then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage of blame. New York law however, does not allow for this. 1602 excludes vehicle owners from the comparative negligence rule in the event of injuries sustained by the drivers of trucks or cars. The analysis to determine whether the presumption is permissive or not is complex. The majority of the time the only way to prove that the owner was not able to grant permission to the driver to operate the vehicle will overrule the presumption.
