motor vehicle accident Vehicle Litigation

When a claim for liability is litigated, it becomes necessary to make a complaint. The defendant is entitled to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules and, in the event that a jury finds that you are responsible for causing the crash the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to owners of vehicles that are leased or rented to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, but those who are behind the steering wheel of a motor vehicle have a higher obligation to the other drivers in their zone of activity. This includes ensuring that they don't cause car accidents.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions with what a normal person would do in the same circumstances to determine what constitutes an acceptable standard of care. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required when cases involve medical malpractice. People with superior knowledge in specific fields could be held to a higher standard of treatment.

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

For instance, if a person has a red light there is a good chance that they will be hit by a car. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for repairs. But the reason for the accident could be a cut in bricks, which later turn into a serious infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by an individual defendant. This must be proven for compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the at-fault party are insufficient to what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor has several professional duties to his patients, arising from state law and licensing boards. Drivers have a duty to care for other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. A driver who breaches this duty and results in an accident is responsible 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 comply with the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant complied with or did not meet the standards.

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

Causation

In motor vehicle cases the plaintiff must prove a causal link between breach of the defendant and the injuries. If a plaintiff suffered a neck injury in an accident with rear-end damage then his or her attorney would argue that the accident was the cause of the injury. Other factors that contributed to the collision, such as being in a stationary car are not culpable and Motor vehicle accident will not impact the jury's determination of the fault.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between an act of negligence and an injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff has a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with his or her parents, experimented with alcohol and drugs or had prior unemployment could have a influence on the severity of the psychological issues suffers from following an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as part of the context that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.

It is imperative to consult an experienced attorney should you be involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in motor vehicle accidents, commercial and business litigation, as well as personal injury cases.

Damages

The damages that a plaintiff can recover in motor vehicle accident lawsuit vehicle litigation can include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is the costs of monetary value that are easily added together and calculated as a total, for example, medical treatments as well as lost wages, repairs to property, or even a future financial loss, for instance the loss of earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of living can't be reduced to money. However the damages must be proven to exist through extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from plaintiff's close friends and family members medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of total damages to be divided between them. The jury must determine how much fault each defendant was at fault for the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in the event of injuries sustained by drivers of cars or motor vehicle accident trucks. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is complex and usually only a convincing evidence that the owner specifically refused permission to operate the car will be sufficient to overcome it.
