In a negligence suit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. This duty is due to all, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even greater obligation to other people in their field. This includes ensuring that there are no accidents in motor vehicles.

Courtrooms examine an individual's conduct with what a normal person would do in the same circumstances to determine reasonable standards of care. In the event of medical malpractice experts are typically required.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable people" standard to establish that there is a duty to be cautious and then prove that the defendant did not comply with this standard with his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant complied with or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's negligence was the sole cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach.

Causation

In motor vehicle accident lawyers vehicle cases, the plaintiff must prove a causal link between breach of the defendant and their injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered a neck injury from a rear-end collision and his or her lawyer would argue that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are necessary to cause the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle are not considered to be culpable and won't affect the jury's decision to determine the degree of fault.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between negligence and the victim's afflictions may be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, experimented with alcohol and drugs or had previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological problems he or suffers from following an accident, but courts typically consider these factors as part of the background circumstances that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury resulted rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

However these damages must be established to exist by a variety of evidence, such as deposition testimony of the plaintiff's family members and close friends medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.

In cases involving multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must determine the percentage of fault each defendant has for the incident, and divide the total damages awarded by the same percentage. However, New York law 1602 excludes vehicle owners from the comparative negligence rule in cases where injuries are caused by drivers of trucks or cars.
