Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit needs to prove the damages suffered by a plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing detailed documentation of expenses out of pocket and also future losses that are likely to result from the injuries that were sustained. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income as well as compensation for intangibles like suffering and pain. It can be difficult to quantify an amount of money on the non-economic damage, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment in life.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault an injured party is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial aspect that your lawyer will need to prove.

Most states implement some kind of a comparative fault rule, which allows victims to seek compensation even if share the blame for an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to their level of fault. If, for instance, an appeals court awards $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.

There are two types of modified comparative fault rules. The one is known as the 50% bar rule, which bars an injured party from receiving damages in cases where they are more than 50 percent at fault. This is the practice of certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, allows victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99 per cent responsible.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of instances, a person injured who is injured in a car crash may sue. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the period of time, also known as the statute of limitations or the claim of the victim is forfeited and barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the defendant's insurance company will settle the case, and everything to do with the triggering event that initiated the case - the incident or accident that led to the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to tick is vital for the compliance of this crucial rule.

In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to bring personal injury lawsuits. This time frame can be reduced in some circumstances, however.
