motor vehicle accident law firm Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle collision lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are reduced by their percentage fault. The jury will decide this based on the evidence they receive.

To be held accountable for a personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent during the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the extent of negligence that led to the accident.

Liability

The goal of a motor accident claim is to collect damages for the damage and losses caused by the negligence of a third party. A lawsuit for an automobile or trucking accident will require that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligent actions or inaction led to a collision, and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining whether the driver who caused the accident or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases are based on a plaintiff's ability to establish the liability of their defendant based on the principles of tort liability and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of the duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

A knowledgeable lawyer can help analyze liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. The majority of automobile insurance policies include an affirmative grant of insurance to anyone operating the vehicle with the owner's permission but subject to certain restrictions. This analysis includes a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing a detailed record of expenses out of pocket as well as future losses expected to result from the injuries sustained. These are called economic and noneconomic damages.

The first is for things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter pays for intangibles like pain and suffering. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine a specific dollar value to non-economic damages like mental stress and loss of enjoyment of life.

Your attorney will assist in the calculation of your damages by making use of a variety of methodologies. This could include retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will look over police reports, photos, witnesses' testimony, and other evidence in order to reconstruct the accident.

Your lawyer will also support your case with expert opinions detailing the economic and other effects of your injuries. These will include estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections and other financial factors. These are essential to ensure that you are fully compensated for any losses you have suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault or contributory negligence determines the amount of fault that an injured person is held responsible for in a car accident. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney will have to prove.

Most states adopt some kind of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they share in the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by their degree of fault. If, for instance, an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, and then determines that you're at 40 percent responsible, you will only receive $60,000.

There are actually two different kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The one is known as the 50% bar rule, which blocks an injured party from receiving damages if they are more than 50% at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. Another variant, firms referred to as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to claim damages if they're found to be 99 per cent at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In the majority of instances, an individual who has been injured who is injured in a car crash may file a lawsuit. However they must be filed within a specific time frame, known as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim will be forfeited and barred for ever.

The statute of limitation does not affect whether or not an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the initial incident that brought about the case, and the incident or accident that caused the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock begins to tick is crucial for the proper application of this important legal requirement.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up to three years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. In some cases, this timeline can be shortened. In the event that a child is involved, for example the statute is stopped until the child becomes legally emancipated. This can be achieved by marrying or reaching the age of 18, usually two years after the incident. Other exceptions exist, and experienced attorneys can assist with the specifics.
