New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that should a jury find you to be at fault for causing an accident the damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are that are leased or rented to minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed the duty of care toward them. Most people owe this duty to everyone else, but those who take the car have a higher obligation to the people in their area of operation. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicle accident lawyers vehicles.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions with what a normal person would do under the same circumstances to establish what is reasonable standards of care. This is why expert witnesses are often required in cases of medical malpractice. Experts with more experience in a certain field may be held to a higher standard of treatment.

A person's breach of their duty of care could cause harm to the victim or their property. The victim is then required to show that the defendant's infringement of their duty caused the injury and damages that they sustained. The proof of causation is an essential part of any negligence case which involves looking at both the actual causes of the injury damages as well as the cause of the damage or injury.

For example, if someone has a red light then it's likely that they'll be hit by a car. If their vehicle is damaged, they will need to pay for repairs. The cause of the crash could be a fracture in the brick that leads to an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by the defendant is the second element of negligence that needs to be proved to obtain compensation in a personal injury claim. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault party are insufficient to what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example has many professional obligations towards his patients. These obligations stem from state law and licensing bodies. Motorists have a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians to drive safely and obey traffic laws. Drivers who violate this obligation and creates an accident is accountable for the injuries suffered by the victim.

A lawyer may use the "reasonable people" standard to establish that there is a duty of caution and then show that defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the defendant's negligence was the sole cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant might have walked through a red light but that's not what caused your bicycle accident. In this way, causation is often challenged by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle accident attorneys vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. For instance, if the plaintiff sustained an injury to his neck in an accident that involved rear-ends and their lawyer could argue that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle is not culpable and won't affect the jury's decision on the degree of fault.

It could be more difficult to establish a causal connection between an act of negligence and the plaintiff's psychological problems. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with his or her parents, experimented with drugs and alcohol or experienced prior unemployment could have a bearing on the severity of the psychological issues he or is suffering from following an accident, but courts typically view these elements as part of the context that caused the accident in which the plaintiff arose rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

Damages

The damages that plaintiffs can seek in a motor vehicle case include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages encompasses all financial costs that can easily be added up and then calculated into the total amount, which includes medical treatments and lost wages, repairs to property, and even future financial losses, such as the loss of earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages such as suffering and pain, and loss of enjoyment of living, cannot be reduced to money. These damages must be established by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use the concept of comparative negligence to decide the proportion of damages awarded should be split between them. The jury must determine how much responsibility each defendant was responsible for the incident and then divide the total damages award by that percentage of fault. New York law however, doesn't allow this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries suffered by driver of those cars and trucks. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use is applicable is a bit nebulous and typically only a clear showing that the owner has explicitly refused permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
