Motor Vehicle Litigation
In the majority of motor vehicle accident lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are diminished by their percentage of fault. This is decided by the jury on the basis of evidence presented to them.
To be held liable for personal injuries, the defendant has to have been negligent in the incident. The degree of liability is determined by the degree to which negligence contributed to the accident.
Liability
The aim of a motor vehicle accident claim is to collect damages for damage and losses caused by negligence of another party.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining whether the driver who caused the accident or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on a plaintiff's ability to establish their defendant's liability based on traditional tort liability principles that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of the duty, real and proximate causation and injuries.
Additionally, a competent lawyer can assist in determining liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle could be the subject of a lawsuit, too. Most automobile insurance policies contain an affirmative provision of insurance to anyone operating the vehicle with the owner's permission with certain limitations. This usually involves analyzing CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle suit must establish damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing comprehensive documents on the out-of-pocket expenses incurred, as well as future loss that will be anticipated due to the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and noneconomic damages.
The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income while the latter is a way to compensate for more intangible things such as pain and suffering. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine a specific dollar value to damages that are not economic like mental stress and loss of enjoyment life.
Your lawyer will help you determine the amount of damages by with a variety of methods. This may include retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will review police reports, photographs as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

This will include estimates of future care and support costs, wage projections and other financial factors.

Comparative Fault
In a car accident, a system called comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured party is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial aspect that your lawyer will need to prove.
Most states implement some type of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they share in the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on the level of fault. For example the case where a judge awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but finds that you're 40% at fault, you will be awarded only $60,000.
There are actually two different kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50 percent. This is the practice of several states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to claim damages if they are found to be 99 per cent at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of instances, an individual who has been injured involved in a car accident may make a claim. However they must be filed within the time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred forever.
The statute of limitations has nothing to have anything to do with whether the insurer of the defendant will settle the case, and everything to do with the triggering event that initiated the case - the incident or accident that led to the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to tick is crucial for complying with this important rule.
