motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation

If liability is contested then it is necessary to start a lawsuit. The defendant is entitled to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that in the event that a jury determines that you were at fault for an accident and you are found to be at fault, your damages will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. This rule does not apply to the owners of vehicles that are that are rented or leased out to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the defendant was obligated to exercise reasonable care. This duty is owed by all, but those who operate a vehicle owe an even greater duty to other people in their field. This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior to what a typical individual would do in the same circumstances to determine what constitutes reasonable standards of care. This is why expert witnesses are often required in cases involving medical malpractice. People who have superior knowledge in a specific field could also be held to an higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

If someone violates their duty of care, they could cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim has to demonstrate that the defendant did not fulfill their duty and caused the injury or damage that they suffered. Causation is a crucial element of any negligence claim. It involves proving the proximate and real causes of the injuries and damages.

If someone is driving through an stop sign, they are likely to be hit by a car. If their car is damaged, they will be responsible for the repairs. The reason for a crash could be a brick cut which develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by a defendant is the second factor of negligence that must be proven to win compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. A breach of duty is when the actions of the person at fault are not in line with what a normal person would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for instance has many professional obligations towards his patients. These professional obligations stem from the law of the state and licensing authorities. Drivers are bound to take care of other drivers and pedestrians, and follow traffic laws. A driver who breaches this duty and causes an accident is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable individuals" standard to show that there is a duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant met or did not meet the standards.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty of the defendant was the main cause of his or her injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For example an individual defendant could have crossed a red light, but his or her action was not the primary cause of your bicycle crash. Causation is often contested in case of a crash by the defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must prove a causal link between breach of the defendant and the injuries. For instance, if the plaintiff suffered an injury to his neck in an accident that involved rear-ends and their lawyer will argue that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that are required for the collision to occur, like being in a stationary vehicle are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's decision of liability.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between negligence and the injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. It may be because the plaintiff has a troubled background, a strained relationship with their parents, or is a user of drugs or alcohol.

If you've been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident It is imperative to speak with a seasoned attorney. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury as well as commercial and business litigation and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have established working relationships with independent medical professionals in a range of specialties and expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations, as well as with private investigators.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a person can seek both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that are easily added up and calculated as a sum, such as medical treatment or lost wages, property repair and even future financial losses, like diminished earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, such as the suffering of others and the loss of enjoyment, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. These damages must be established by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members and friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of damages to be split between them. The jury will determine the proportion of fault each defendant is accountable for the accident and then divide the total damages awarded by the same percentage. However, New York law 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries sustained by drivers of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive use is applicable is a bit nebulous, and typically only a convincing evidence that the owner explicitly refused permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
