A motor vehicle case is any personal injury lawsuit involving an accident involving a motor vehicle accident lawsuits vehicle. Although most cases are governed by the standard common-law notions of negligence however, there are a variety of specific issues pertaining to this practice.

According to New York law, vehicle owners are accountable for accidents that occur while their vehicles were being operated with their explicit or implied consent. Our legal team tackles these cases on a contingency basis.

Eyewitness Testimony

Eyewitness testimony is a valuable supplement to other evidence when it comes to motor vehicle accident lawsuits vehicle related cases. This type of testimony can be used to identify the perpetrators of crime or provide details about the circumstances of the accident. However there is a vast collection of studies that show eyewitness accounts can be extremely in error.

Witnesses are more likely, for example, to make errors when recollecting an object's color or shape. In addition, perceptual distortions -- like fading memories -- can also affect a person's memory of an event.

In addition, the memory of witnesses may be affected by questions that lead to or other information given to witnesses. Researchers found that in one experiment asking participants to estimate the speed of a vehicle influenced their responses. Other factors that influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimonies include age levels, attention, skill and stress, health issues and prejudice.

Although many experts say that eyewitness evidence can be trusted however, it is important to educate law enforcement agencies and jurors about the potential for error in this type of evidence. In some instances, eyewitness testimony that was inaccurate has led to incorrect convictions or even murder. In 2018 the Innocence Project proved that the fingerprints that were found on a cup which a witness used to identify a suspect in a burglary, were not the Royal Clark's.

Vehicle Examination

In general inspections of vehicles must take place every year. Some vehicles may need to be examined more frequently in certain circumstances, like those sold through private sales or those that have an inspection sticker that has expired. It is also a requirement in certain circumstances, like when a resident of New York moves and needs to change their address, that their vehicle is inspected prior to when the new stickers are issued.

When an inspector conducts an inspection, motor they start off by verifying some of the details like the car's model and make as well as the date of registration and the odometer's reading, and the list goes on. The inspector will then look over the vehicle, starting with the obvious areas such as the windshields and mirrors, the lights and the horn. There are many checklists to ensure that an accurate inspection is done, including checking for things such as corrosion or suspension components.

Drivers are expected to remain attentive on the road and to keep an eye out for pedestrians, other drivers and other potential hazards. The failure to do so could constitute negligence. A driver must also be in control at all at all times. A vehicle that is not in good condition could cause the vehicle to lose control, resulting in serious injuries. The manufacturer of a vehicle may be held liable for the accident in the event of an automobile defect or part.

Defective Components or Parts

For a vehicle's operation to run correctly, thousands of tiny mechanical and electrical components must work in harmony. If one of these components is damaged, the result can be devastating. These accidents are typically caused by manufacturing flaws or other problems with the construction or design specific part. When a malfunctioning car part is the reason for an accident, the party responsible is likely to be responsible for paying the victims of the crash for their injuries.

Many people think that all auto accidents happen because of human error. While 94 percent are caused by driver mistakes, there are also other factors like road conditions and motor defective components which can cause accidents.

Defective car parts include brakes seats, airbags, tires or any other component that may not function as designed and lead to an accident. Sometimes, these issues are the result of aftermarket modifications that weren't designed with the same care as the original parts on vehicles. Sometimes, the issue is present in the original design of the part.

The manufacturers are required to make cars that meet minimum safety standards. If the vehicle or its components were not manufactured or designed according to these standards the manufacturer could be held responsible in a lawsuit for product liability for any injuries that may occur as a result of an accident caused by the defective part.

Insurance Coverage

The majority of states operate under a tort liability system that requires drivers to be insured in the event their actions or negligence causes injury to another. Liability coverage includes bodily injuries liability and property damage liabilities.

The bodily injury liability covers medical expenses and those of others injured by your car in an accident up to the limit of your policy. There is usually an amount for each injured person, and a limit for property damage in all forms. Certain insurers offer optional policies that have higher limits for these types of damages.

The coverage can also cover damage resulting from driving over potholes. This type of coverage is required in New York and some other states.

In many states the uninsured or underinsured driver insurance (UM/UIM), is mandatory. However, certain states only require it when the driver at fault does not have insurance. This insurance covers property and medical damages if the at-fault motorist has no insurance or is not insured.
