Motor Vehicle Litigation
In the majority of motor vehicle crash cases, the plaintiff's are reduced by the percentage of the fault. The jury will make this decision in accordance with the evidence they receive.
To be held liable for injuries the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the degree of negligence that contributed to the incident.
Liability
The goal of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to obtain compensation from the other party for injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. Unless the victim is in one of the states that operate under a no-fault insurance system and a trucking accident lawsuit must prove that the negligent act of a defendant or inaction caused a collision with injuries to the body.
An experienced attorney can help you determine if the at-fault driver or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accidents cases rely on a plaintiff's capacity to establish the liability of their defendant based on traditional tort liability principles which include a defendant's obligation to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of this duty, causality that is actual and proximate, and injuries.
A experienced lawyer can assist with analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle might be involved in an action. Most insurance policies for automobiles provide an affirmative grant of insurance to anyone driving 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 lawsuit can establish the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation on out-of pocket expenses and future losses that are expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic or noneconomic damages.
The former covers things like medical bills and lost income while the latter is a way to compensate for things that are more intangible like suffering and pain. Oftentimes, it can be difficult to determine a specific amount to non-economic damages like mental stress and the loss of enjoyment life.
Your lawyer will assist you in the calculation of your damages by making use of a variety of methods. This could include hiring accident reconstruction specialists who will look over police reports, photos and witnesses' statements, and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.
Your attorney will also bolster your claim with expert opinions that outline the economic and non-economic effects of your injuries. This will include estimates of the cost for care and support in the future along with wage projections and other financial aspects. These are necessary to ensure that you are fully compensated for the loss you've suffered and will encounter in the near future.
Comparative Fault
A system referred to as comparative fault, also referred to as contributory negligence - determines the extent to which an injured person is accountable for a car crash. It's an important issue in a lot of cases and something your attorney may have to prove.
Most states use some version of a a comparative blame rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. However, the amount of their settlement will be lowered by their level of blame. If, for instance, the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries but finds that you're 40% responsible, you will only receive $60,000.
However, the law is much more complex than that as there are two distinct varieties of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents an injured person from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50%. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. Another variation is known as pure comparative fault. This allows victims to recover damages even if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.
Statute of limitations
In the majority of cases, a person is injured in a car accident is entitled to file a lawsuit against the person who caused the crash. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the period of time, also known as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred forever.
The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the defendant's insurance company will settle or not, and it is all about the initial triggering event in the case, which is the incident or accident that led to the injury. Thus, knowing precisely when the clock will begin to tick is crucial for the proper application of this important legal requirement.
In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. In some instances the timeframe can be reduced. For example, in cases where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is paused until the child becomes free by marrying or reaching age 18, which is typically two years following the accident. There are also exceptions and seasoned lawyers can advise on the specifics.
