Motor Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is necessary when liability is in dispute. The defendant has the right to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules and, if the jury finds you to be at fault for causing an accident the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are which are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. Most people owe this duty to everyone else, however those who are behind the wheel of a motor vehicle have a greater obligation to other people in their field of operation. This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms, the standard of care is established by comparing the actions of an individual to what a normal person would do under similar conditions. In cases of medical malpractice, expert witnesses are usually required. People who have superior knowledge in a specific field could also be held to the highest standards of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A person's breach of their obligation of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim must then demonstrate that the defendant's violation of their duty caused the injury and damages that they suffered. Causation is a key element of any negligence claim. It requires proof of both the proximate and real causes of the injuries and damages.

For motor vehicle accidents example, if someone is stopped at a red light, it's likely that they'll be hit by a car. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for the repairs. The cause of a crash could be a brick cut which develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A defendant's breach of duty is the second element of negligence that needs to be proved to obtain compensation in a personal injury suit. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the at-fault party are not in line with what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example is a professional with a range of professional obligations to his patients, which stem from the law of the state and licensing authorities. Drivers have a duty to be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians, as well as to follow traffic laws. When a driver breaches this duty of care and results in an accident, the driver is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of the duty of care and then demonstrate that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the main cause of his or her injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant could have driven through a red light however, that's not the reason for the accident on your bicycle. The issue of causation is often challenged in case of a crash by the defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff sustained a neck injury from a rear-end collision, his or her lawyer could argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other factors necessary to cause the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable and will not influence the jury's determination of the degree of fault.

It could be more difficult to prove a causal link between a negligent act and the psychological symptoms of the plaintiff. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with their parents, was a user of drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity the psychological issues she suffers after an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as part of the background circumstances from which the plaintiff's accident occurred, rather than as an independent cause of the injuries.

If you've been involved in a serious motor vehicle crash, it is important to speak with a seasoned attorney. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP, have extensive experience in representing clients in personal injury as well as commercial and business litigation, and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have built working relationships with independent physicians in different specialties as well as expert witnesses in computer simulations and accident reconstruction.

Damages

In motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle litigation, a plaintiff may get both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages comprises any financial expenses that can be easily added to calculate a sum, such as medical expenses and lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses such as diminished earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages like the suffering of others and the loss of enjoyment of life, 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 cases involving multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine the percentage of damages awarded should be split between them. The jury must determine how much responsibility each defendant was at fault for the accident and to then divide the total amount of damages by the percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by drivers of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is complicated and usually only a convincing evidence that the owner explicitly was not granted permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
