Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are lowered by their percentage of fault. The jury will determine this according to the evidence presented to them.

In order to be held liable for a personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent during the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the extent to which negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to obtain compensation from the other party to compensate for injuries and losses caused by their negligence. A lawsuit for an auto or trucking crash will require that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligent actions or inactions resulted in a collision and the bodily injuries that resulted.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining if the driver at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto-related cases rely on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's guilt based on tort liability principles. This includes a defendant’s duty to the victim, a defendant's violation of this duty direct and immediate causation as well as injuries.

A knowledgeable lawyer can assist in analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles include an affirmative provision of insurance to anyone operating the vehicle with owner's permission with certain limitations. This analysis also includes a look at of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle accident lawyers vehicle suit must prove the damages suffered by a plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed documentation on out-of pocket expenses and the future loss anticipated due to the injuries sustained. These are called economic and noneconomic damages.

The former covers things like medical bills and lost income while the latter covers more intangible things such as pain and suffering. It can be difficult to determine an amount in dollars for non-economic damages, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment in life.

Your lawyer will assist in formulating your damages with the use of a variety of methods. This may include retaining accident reconstruction specialists who will examine police reports, photos, witnesses' testimony, and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

Your attorney will also bolster your case with expert opinions that outline the economic and non-economic effects of your injuries. These will include estimates of costs for future care and assistance along with wage projections and other financial aspects. They are required to ensure you are fully compensated for any losses that you have suffered and experience in the future.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured person is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your attorney must prove.

Most states have a form of a comparative fault law that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of their share of the blame is attributed to an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced based on the degree of fault. For instance, if an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, but determines that you're at 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.

But the law is more complicated than that because there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out an injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50%. It is used by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of instances, the person who was injured who is injured in a car crash may file a lawsuit. However these lawsuits must be filed within the timeframe known as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim is forfeited and barred for ever.

The statute of limitations does not affect whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It is all about the event that initiated the case, the incident or accident that caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to tick is crucial to ensure complying with this important rule.

In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to make personal injury lawsuits. This time frame can be reduced in certain situations, however. For instance, in cases where a minor is involved the statute of limitations is paused until the child becomes fully emancipated through marriage or turning 18 which is usually two years following the accident. There are other exceptions, and a skilled attorney can offer advice on the specifics.
