Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident attorneys vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's award is reduced by their percentage of fault. This is determined by the jury based on the evidence presented to them.

To be liable for a personal injury, the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined based on the extent of negligence that led to the accident.

Liability

The purpose of a motor vehicle accident claim is to recover damages for the damages and injuries caused by the negligence of a third party. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking crash will require that the injured victim prove that the defendant's negligent actions or inaction led to a collision, and the bodily injury that resulted from it.

An experienced lawyer can help you determine whether the driver at fault or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases are based on a plaintiff's ability to establish their defendant's liability based on the traditional tort liability rules that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the defendant's violation of this duty, the actual and proximate causation, and injuries.

A competent lawyer can help analyze liability in situations in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles include an affirmative insurance to anyone operating the vehicle with the owner's permission subject to certain exclusions. This analysis includes a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages sustained by plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed evidence of the expenses and the future loss expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and noneconomic damages.

The former covers things such as medical bills and lost income, while the latter is compensation for things that are more intangible like suffering and pain. It can be difficult to determine a specific amount to non-economic damages like mental stress and loss of enjoyment life.

Your attorney will help to calculate the damages you have suffered using a variety methods. This includes retaining accident reconstruction experts who will look at photos of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to understand how the accident occurred.

Your attorney will also be able to support your claim by seeking expert opinions on the economic and noneconomic implications of your injuries. This will include estimates of future care and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. They are crucial in order to ensure you're compensated fully for any losses that you have suffered and continue to be afflicted in the future.

Comparative Fault

In the event of a car crash, a system called comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault an injured party is responsible for. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney will need to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault system that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of whether their part of the blame lies with an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by their level of blame. So, for example If a jury awards you $100,000 for your injuries but finds you are 40 percent at fault, you'd only receive $60,000.

But the law is more complex than that because there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which prevents the victim from receiving damages in cases where they are more than 50 percent at the fault. This is the practice of several states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to recover damages if they're found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of limitations

In most cases, a person who is injured in a car accident is legally entitled to file a lawsuit against the person responsible for the accident. These lawsuits must, however, be filed within the statute of limitations, or else the victim's claim will be barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to be concerned with whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle, and it is all about the initial triggering event in the case - the incident or accident that caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to tick is vital for complying with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to make a personal injury claim. In certain cases the timeframe can be reduced. In the event that a child is involved, for instance the statute is suspended until the child is legally emancipated. This can be attained by marriage or when they reach the age of 18 usually two years after the accident. There are other exceptions, and a skilled attorney can provide advice on the specifics.
