Motor Vehicle Litigation

If liability is contested and the liability is disputed, it is necessary to start a lawsuit. The defendant is entitled to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, should a jury find that you are responsible for an accident the damages you incur will be reduced according to your percentage of blame. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are that are rented or leased out to minors.

Duty of Care

In a lawsuit for negligence the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, but those who are behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have an even higher duty to other people in their field of operation. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms, the quality of care is determined by comparing the actions of an individual with what a typical person would do in similar conditions. In the event of medical malpractice expert witnesses are typically required. Experts who have a superior understanding of a specific area may also be held to an higher standard of care than others in similar situations.

A breach of a person's duty of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim then has to prove that the defendant acted in breach of their duty and caused the injury or damages they suffered. The proof of causation is an essential part of any negligence case and requires investigating both the primary causes of the injury damages as well as the reason for the injury or damage.

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

Breach of Duty

The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty committed by a defendant. The breach of duty must be proved for compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the at-fault person do not match what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.

A doctor, for instance, has several professional duties to his patients stemming from state law and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to care for other drivers and pedestrians, and respect traffic laws. If a motorist violates this obligation of care and results in an accident, the driver is accountable for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then show that the defendant failed to meet that 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 breach of duty by the defendant was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For example, a defendant may have crossed a red light, but the action was not the sole cause of the crash. Causation is often contested in cases of crash by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle cases the plaintiff must prove that there is a causal connection between the breach by the defendant and their injuries. If the plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck in an accident that involved rear-end collisions and his or her attorney would argue that the accident caused the injury. Other factors necessary to cause the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable, and will not affect the jury's decision on the fault.

It can be difficult to prove a causal link between a negligent act, and the psychological issues of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff had an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, was a user of alcohol and drugs or had previous unemployment may have some impact on the severity of the psychological issues suffers from following an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as part of the background circumstances that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle crash it is crucial to consult an experienced attorney. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP, have extensive experience in representing clients in personal injury commercial and business litigation, and motor vehicle accident lawyer vehicle accident cases.

Damages

The damages that plaintiffs can seek in motor vehicle litigation can include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that are easily added up and calculated as a total, for example, medical expenses and lost wages, property repair and even future financial losses like a decrease in earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages like the suffering of others and the loss of enjoyment, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. However these damages must be proved to exist through extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from plaintiff's family members and close friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine the percentage of damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must determine how much fault each defendant was at fault for the incident and then divide the total amount of damages by that percentage of blame. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries sustained by drivers of these vehicles and trucks. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissiveness applies is complex, and typically only a clear proof that the owner has explicitly refused permission to operate the vehicle will overcome it.
