Motor Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is required when liability is in dispute. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that in the event that a jury finds you responsible for an accident the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is a slight exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are rented or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence case the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant was obligated to exercise reasonable care. This duty is owed to all, but those who operate vehicles owe an even higher duty to other drivers in their field. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.
In courtrooms the standards of care are determined by comparing an individual's conduct with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances. Expert witnesses are frequently required in cases involving medical negligence. Experts with a superior understanding of particular fields may be held to a greater standard of care.
A person's breach of their obligation of care can cause harm to the victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of duty caused the harm and damages they suffered. Proving causation is a critical aspect of any negligence case and involves investigating both the primary cause of the injury or damages, as well as the causal reason for the damage or injury.
For instance, if a person runs a red stop sign then it's likely that they will be hit by a vehicle. If their car is damaged they'll be responsible for repairs. However, the real cause of the crash could be a cut from bricks that later develop into a deadly infection.
Breach of Duty
The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty committed by an individual defendant. It must be proven for compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the party at fault are not in line with what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.
For example, a doctor has a variety of professional obligations to his patients stemming from laws of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are required to be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. If a driver violates this obligation and causes an accident is accountable for the injuries of the victim.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of the duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not meet that standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant fulfilled or did not meet the standard.
The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty of the defendant was the main cause of the injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have driven through a red light however, that's not the reason for the crash on your bicycle. This is why causation is frequently disputed by the defendants in case of a crash.
Causation
In motor vehicle accidents vehicle cases the plaintiff must establish an causal link between breach of the defendant and their injuries. If the plaintiff suffered neck injuries as a result of a rear-end accident and his or her attorney will argue that the incident was the cause of the injury. Other elements that are required to cause the collision, such as being in a stationary car, are not culpable and do not affect the jury's decision of liability.
It is possible to establish a causal connection between an act of negligence and the plaintiff's psychological problems. It may be the case that the plaintiff has a turbulent background, a strained relationship with their parents, or has abused alcohol or drugs.
It is important to consult an experienced lawyer when you've been involved in a serious accident. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury cases, business and commercial litigation, and motor vehicle accident law firms vehicle accident cases.

Damages
The damages plaintiffs can claim in motor vehicle litigation include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is all monetary costs which can easily be added up and summed up into a total, for example, medical treatments or lost wages, repair to property, or even a future financial losses, such as diminished earning capacity.
New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment of life are not able to be reduced to money. However the damages must be established to exist with the help of extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close friends and family members medical records, other expert witness testimony.
In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine how much of the total damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury has to determine the amount of fault each defendant carries for the incident and then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage. However, New York law 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule in relation to injuries suffered by driver of the vehicles. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage applies is complicated and usually only a clear showing that the owner has explicitly denied permission to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome it.
