Statute of Limitations

Defenses

There are a variety of defenses that can be argued in any motor vehicle accident lawsuit. These include legal and factual arguments. Some legal defenses are based on procedural questions like failure to meet the statue of limitations. Others could be based solely on the merits.

Comparative negligence is an important factual defense. It is a legal theory which asserts that the person who filed the claim should be held responsible for the harm and injuries they have suffered. The validity of this argument will be contingent on the state's law. Many states have enacted a form of comparative negligence law.

Defendants often use the defense of assumption of risk to attempt to deny plaintiffs their right to compensation. This argument states that an injured party assumed the risk of injury if they participated in some activity, for example, exercising at a gym or playing a sport. This is a valid defense, however, highly experienced attorneys know how to get around this argument.

Another common defense is that the person who suffered injury was not able to limit their damages. For instance If a person filing a loss of earnings claim as part of their total damages, the defendant may claim that the victim should have taken the necessary steps to find a job regardless of the fact that it would not have made them whole.
