To be held accountable for an injury the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined by the extent of negligence that led to the accident.

Liability

The aim of a motor vehicle accident law Firm accident claim is to obtain compensation from the other party in exchange for damages and injuries caused through their negligence. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking crash will require that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligent acts or failure to act led to a collision, and the bodily injuries that resulted.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining whether the person at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accident cases hinge on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's negligence using tort liability principles. This includes a defendant's duty to the victim, defendant's breach of this duty, direct and real causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can help analyze liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles provide an affirmative provision of coverage to anyone operating the vehicle with owner's permission with certain limitations. This analysis often includes reviewing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit needs to establish damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing a detailed account of out-of-pocket expenses incurred and also the potential for future losses to result from the injuries sustained. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things such as medical expenses and lost income while the second is compensation for more intangible things such as pain and suffering. It can be difficult to quantify a dollar amount on non-economic damages like mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will help to determine your damages through a variety of ways. This could include hiring accident reconstruction experts who will review police reports, photographs as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident, a system called comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault an injured person is responsible for. In many cases, it's an important issue that your lawyer must prove.

The majority of states have some type of a comparative fault rule, which allows victims to pursue compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by the degree of fault. For example the case where a judge awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but finds that you're 40 percent at fault, you will be awarded only $60,000.

However, the law is much more complex than that, since there are two distinct varieties of modified rules of comparative fault. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from claiming damages in cases where they are more than 50 percent at fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. The other type, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to claim damages if they are found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of Limitations

In the majority of instances, the person who was injured in a car crash can file a lawsuit. 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 for life.

Calculating the exact time that the clock begins to tick is crucial to ensure compliance with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. This time frame may be cut down in certain circumstances, but.

There are other exceptions, and a skilled attorney can offer advice on the specifics.
