motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation
In most motor vehicle crash lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are diminished by their percentage of fault. This is determined by jurors based on evidence presented to them.
To be held liable for personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent in the incident. The degree of liability is determined by amount of negligence that contributed to the accident.
Liability
The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to obtain compensation from the other party for injuries and losses that were caused through their negligence. If the injured party is not in one of the few states that operate under a no fault insurance system and a trucking accident lawsuit must prove that the negligent act of a defendant or failure to act resulted in a collision, and an injury to the body.
An experienced lawyer can help you determine if the driver at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on a plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on traditional tort liability principles and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of that duty, real and proximate causation and injuries.
A competent lawyer can assist in analyzing liability in situations in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is a party in a lawsuit. The majority of automobile insurance policies provide coverage to anyone who uses the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis often includes reviewing CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages incurred by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing a detailed account of the expenses incurred out of pocket as well as future losses that are expected to arise as a result of the injuries that were sustained. 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 such as pain and suffering. Oftentimes, it can be difficult to determine an exact dollar value to damages that are not economic like mental distress and loss of enjoyment life.
Your lawyer will assist you in formulating your damages with the use of a variety of methods. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who review photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to reconstruct the way in which the accident took place.
Your attorney will also support your claim by obtaining expert opinions that outline the economic and noneconomic impacts of your injuries. This includes estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections, and other financial considerations.

Comparative Fault
In a car wreck, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame an injured person is responsible for. It's a key issue in a lot of cases and something your lawyer may have to prove.
The majority of states have some type of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to pursue compensation even if they share the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on their level of fault. For instance when a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries, but concludes that you're 40% at fault, you will be awarded only $60,000.
However, the law is much more complicated than that, as there are two distinct varieties of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This bar rule blocks an injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. Another variant, referred to as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to seek damages if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of cases, a person who is injured in a car crash is legally entitled to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the crash. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the timeframe of limitations or else the victim's claim is forever barred.
The statute of limitations has nothing to be concerned with whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle, and everything to do with the trigger event that started the case-the accident or incident which caused the injury. Thus, knowing precisely when the clock begins to tick is essential for ensuring compliance with this important legal rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents have up to three years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. In certain cases the timeframe can be reduced. In cases where a minor is involved, such as the statute is stopped until the child becomes emancipated, which can be accomplished by marrying or reaching the age of 18 usually two years after the accident. There are also exceptions, and experienced attorneys can help you understand the particulars.
