motor vehicle accident attorneys Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is required when liability is contested. The defendant then has the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that in the event that a jury determines you to be responsible for an accident, your damages will be reduced based on your percentage of blame. This rule does not apply to the owners of vehicles that are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, however those who sit behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have an even higher duty to the other drivers in their zone of activity. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicles.

In courtrooms the standards of care are determined by comparing an individual's behavior against what a normal individual would do in the same conditions. In the event of medical negligence expert witnesses are typically required. Experts who are knowledgeable of a specific area may also be held to an higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

When someone breaches their duty of care, it can cause damage to the victim as well as their property. The victim is then required to show that the defendant's infringement of their duty led to the harm and damages they have suffered. Proving causation is an essential part of any negligence case and involves looking at both the actual reason for the injury or damages, as well as the causal cause of the damage or injury.

If someone is driving through an stop sign it is likely that they will be struck by a vehicle. If their car is damaged, they will have to pay for the repairs. But the actual cause of the accident could be a cut from the brick, which then develops into a potentially dangerous 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 claim. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the person at fault are not in line with what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients that are governed by state law and licensing boards. Drivers are required to care for other drivers and pedestrians, and adhere to traffic laws. If a driver violates this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is responsible for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant was in compliance with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the breach by the defendant was the direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant may have run through a red light, but that wasn't what caused the bicycle accident. The issue of causation is often challenged in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. For instance, if the plaintiff suffered an injury to his neck in a rear-end collision and their lawyer might claim that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, such as being in a stationary car is not culpable and won't affect the jury's decision on the fault.

It could be more difficult to prove a causal link between a negligent act, and the psychological issues of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff has a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with his or her parents, used drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological issues he or is suffering from following an accident, but courts typically consider these factors as an element of the background conditions that caused the accident resulted rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. These damages must be proved through extensive evidence such as depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff or medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must determine how much fault each defendant had for the incident and then divide the total amount of damages by that percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries suffered by driver of the vehicles. The process of determining whether the presumption of permissiveness is complex. In general, Motor vehicle accident attorneys only a clear demonstration that the owner was not able to grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle can overcome the presumption.
