Motor Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is required in cases where liability is challenged. The Defendant has the right to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, should a jury find that you were at fault for an accident, your damages will be reduced according to your percentage of fault. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are rented or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case, the plaintiff must show that the defendant was bound by a duty of care towards them. Most people owe this duty to everyone else, but those who are behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have a greater obligation to the other drivers in their zone of operation. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions to what a typical person would do under the same circumstances to establish what is an acceptable standard of care. In the event of medical negligence expert witnesses are typically required. Experts with a superior understanding of specific fields could be held to a higher standard of care.

A person's breach of their duty of care may cause harm to a victim or their property. The victim then has to prove that the defendant breached their duty and caused the injury or damages they suffered. Proving causation is an essential element in any negligence case and involves looking at both the actual causes of the injury damages and the proximate cause of the injury or damage.

For instance, if someone is stopped at a red light and is stopped, they'll be struck by another car. If their car is damaged they'll be responsible for repairs. But the reason for the crash could be a cut on the brick, which then develops into a potentially dangerous infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by the defendant is the second element of negligence that needs to be proved in order to receive compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. A breach of duty is when the actions taken by the at-fault party do not match what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients that are governed by laws of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to take care of other drivers and pedestrians, and to 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 can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of a duty of care and then demonstrate that the defendant failed to comply with the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant complied with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty by the defendant was the primary cause for the injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. For example an individual defendant could have been a motorist who ran a red light, but it's likely that his or her actions was not the primary reason for your bicycle crash. This is why causation is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle accident attorney vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. If a plaintiff suffers neck injuries in an accident with rear-end damage and his or her attorney will argue that the incident was the reason for the injury. Other factors that are essential to produce the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's determination of liability.

It could be more difficult to prove a causal link between a negligent act, and the psychological symptoms of the plaintiff. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with their parents, used drugs and alcohol or experienced prior unemployment could have a bearing on the severity of the psychological issues is suffering from following a crash, but the courts generally view these factors as part of the background circumstances from which the plaintiff's accident arose rather than an independent cause of the injuries.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident it is essential to consult with an experienced attorney. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury, commercial and business litigation, and motor vehicle crash cases. Our lawyers have formed relationships with independent physicians in a wide range of specialties, expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations, as well as with private investigators.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff can be able to recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages is the costs of monetary value that can be easily added together and calculated into a total, for example, medical treatment or lost wages, repair to property, or even a future financial loss, such a diminished earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages like the suffering of others and motor vehicle accidents the loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. However these damages must be proved to exist using extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.

In cases involving multiple defendants, Courts will often use the concept of comparative negligence to decide the percentage of damages award should be allocated between them. This requires the jury to determine how much responsibility each defendant was responsible for the incident and 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 the vehicles. The process of determining whether the presumption of permissiveness is complicated. Most of the time the only way to prove that the owner refused permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will overcome the presumption.
