Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages award is reduced by their percentage of the fault. The jury decides this based on the evidence presented to them.

In order to be held liable for personal injury the defendant must have been negligent during the incident. Liability is determined based on the degree of negligence that contributed to the accident.

Liability

The aim of a motor vehicle accident claim is to collect damages for injuries and losses caused by the negligence of a third party. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking accident will require that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligence or inactions caused a collision and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced lawyer can help you determine whether the person at fault or a different defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on the plaintiff's ability to prove their defendant's liability based on traditional tort liability principles and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of that duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

A knowledgeable lawyer can assist in analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle are involved in a lawsuit. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles include an affirmative grant of protection to anyone operating the vehicle under the owner's permission but subject to certain restrictions. This analysis often includes reviewing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed documentation of the expenses incurred out of pocket and also future losses that are likely to result from the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income and the latter is for intangibles like suffering and pain. It can be difficult to quantify a dollar amount on the non-economic damage, such as mental distress and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will help you calculate your damages using a variety methods. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who review images of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct the way in which the accident took place.

Your attorney will also be able to support your claim by seeking expert opinions on the economic and noneconomic impacts of your injuries. This includes estimates of future healthcare and support costs, wage projections, and other financial aspects. These are crucial to ensure you are fully compensated for any losses you've suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured person is responsible for. This is a major issue in a number of cases, and something your attorney may have to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault system that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of whether their part of the blame is attributed to an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced by their degree of fault. So, for example when a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent at fault, you'd be awarded only $60,000.

However, the law is more complicated than that, because there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The second is known as the 50% bar rule, which blocks an injured party from claiming damages when they are more than 50% at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of limitations

In most instances, a person who is injured in a car crash is eligible to file a claim against the party responsible for the crash. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the statute of limitations or else the claim of the victim will be barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle, and it is all about the initial triggering event in the case-the incident or accident which caused the injury. So, knowing exactly when the clock begins to run is crucial in the proper application of this important legal requirement.

In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to make a personal injury claim. In certain instances the timeline may be shortened. For instance, in cases where minors are involved, the limitation period is paused until the child is legally emancipated after marriage or turning 18 which is usually two years after the date of the accident. Other exceptions exist and seasoned lawyers can advise on the specifics.
