Motor Vehicle Litigation

If the liability is challenged then it is necessary to start a lawsuit. The defendant will then be given the chance to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that if a jury finds that you are responsible for an accident the damages you incur will be reduced based on your percentage of blame. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are hired or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. This duty is owed to everyone, but those who operate a vehicle owe an even greater duty to other people in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms the quality of care is determined by comparing an individual's actions with what a typical person would do in the same situations. In the case of medical malpractice, expert witnesses are usually required. People with superior knowledge in a certain field may be held to a higher standard of treatment.

If a person violates their duty of care, they could cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of their duty resulted in the injury and damages that they have suffered. The proof of causation is an essential element in any negligence case and requires looking at both the actual causes of the injury damages, as well as the causal reason for the damage or injury.

For instance, if a driver runs a red stop sign, it's likely that they will be hit by a car. If their car is damaged they'll be responsible for the repairs. The reason for a crash could be caused by a brick cut which develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty committed by an individual defendant. This must be proven in order to obtain compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty occurs when the at-fault party's actions are not in line with what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician has a variety of professional obligations to his patients that are governed by the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to take care of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to adhere to traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this obligation of care and causes an accident, he is responsible for the injuries suffered by the victim.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable individuals" standard to establish that there is a duty of caution and then prove that the defendant failed to meet this standard in his conduct. The jury will determine if the defendant met or did not meet the standards.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty by the defendant was the main cause of the injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant could have run through a red light but that's not what caused the accident on your bicycle. The issue of causation is often challenged in cases of crash by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. If a plaintiff suffered a neck injury in an accident with rear-end damage, his or her attorney would argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other elements that are required to produce the collision, like being in a stationary car, are not culpable, and do not affect the jury's determination of liability.

For psychological injuries However, the connection between a negligent act and an injured plaintiff's symptoms could be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff had an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with their parents, used alcohol and drugs, or suffered prior unemployment could have a bearing on the severity of the psychological problems he or she suffers after an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as part of the context that caused the accident in which the plaintiff resulted rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have extensive experience in representing clients in motor vehicle accidents cases, business and commercial litigation, as well as personal injury cases. Our lawyers have developed relationships with independent physicians in a range of specialties including expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations as well as with private investigators.

Damages

The damages a plaintiff may recover in motor vehicle accident law firms vehicle litigation can include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that are easily added up and calculated as the sum of medical treatment loss of wages, property repair, and even future financial losses, such as diminished earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, motor vehicle accidents and loss of enjoyment of living can't be reduced to cash. However the damages must be proven to exist by a variety of evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's close friends and family members medical records, deposition testimony, and other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically employ comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages that must be divided between them. The jury must determine the percentage of fault each defendant carries for the accident and then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by drivers of these trucks and cars. The process of determining whether the presumption is permissive or not is complicated. The majority of the time, only a clear demonstration that the owner did not grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome the presumption.
