Motor Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is necessary when liability is contested. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, when a jury finds you to be responsible for an accident, your damages will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. There is a slight exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles rented or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was bound by an obligation of care to them. The majority of people owe this obligation to everyone else, Vimeo however individuals who get behind the steering wheel of a motor vehicle have an even higher duty to others in their area of activity. This includes ensuring that there are no accidents in motor vehicles.

In courtrooms the standard of care is determined by comparing an individual's actions to what a normal person would do in similar situations. Expert witnesses are frequently required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts with a higher level of expertise in a particular field may also be held to a higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A breach of a person's obligation of care can cause injury to a victim or their property. The victim must show that the defendant's infringement of their duty resulted in the harm and damages they suffered. Causation is an important part of any negligence claim. It involves proving both the primary and secondary causes of the damages and injuries.

If a person is stopped at a stop sign, they are likely to be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they will be responsible for the repairs. The actual cause of a crash could be a brick cut that develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

A defendant's breach of duty is the second aspect of negligence that has to be proven to win compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. A breach of duty is when the actions of the person at fault are insufficient to what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor has a variety of professional obligations to his patients stemming from state law and licensing boards. Motorists are required to show care to other drivers and pedestrians on the road to be safe and follow traffic laws. Any driver who fails to adhere to this duty and causes an accident is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of a duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not meet that standard in his actions. The jury will determine if the defendant met or did not meet the standards.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach by the defendant was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant might have walked through a red light but that's not the cause of the accident on your bicycle. In this way, causation is often contested by the defendants in case of a crash.

Causation

In motor vehicle-related cases, the plaintiff must prove that there is a causal connection between the breach by the defendant and their injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to his neck in an accident that involved rear-ends and his or her lawyer would argue that the accident caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle is not culpable and will not influence the jury's decision on the cause of the accident.

For psychological injuries However, the connection between a negligent act and an injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a an unhappy childhood, Vimeo a poor relationship with his or her parents, used alcohol and drugs or previous unemployment may have some bearing on the severity of the psychological issues is suffering from following a crash, but the courts typically look at these factors as an element of the background conditions from which the plaintiff's accident occurred, rather than as an independent reason for the injuries.

Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have years of experience in representing clients in motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle accident, commercial and business litigation, as well as personal injury cases.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a person can recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary expenses that can be easily added up and calculated as the sum of medical expenses, lost wages, property repairs, and even future financial losses, such as 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 of life which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. These damages must be proved through extensive evidence such as depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine the degree of fault each defendant incurred in the accident and to then divide the total damages award by the percentage of blame. However, New York law 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by drivers of these vehicles and trucks. The method of determining if the presumption of permissiveness is complicated. Typically there is only a clear proof that the owner did not grant permission to the driver to operate the vehicle will be sufficient to overturn the presumption.
