Motor Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is necessary when the liability is being contested. The defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules and, if the jury finds that you are responsible for causing the accident the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to owners of vehicles which are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant had the duty of care toward them. This duty is due to all people, however those who operate a vehicle have an even higher duty to other people in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicles.

In courtrooms, the standard of care is established by comparing an individual's actions to what a normal person would do under similar situations. Expert witnesses are often required in cases involving medical malpractice. People who have superior knowledge of a specific area may also be held to an higher standard of care than others in similar situations.

A person's breach of their duty of care may cause injury to a victim or their property. The victim has to prove that the defendant breached their duty and caused the injury or damage they sustained. The proof of causation is an essential part of any negligence case and requires investigating both the primary reason for the injury or damages and the proximate reason for the injury or damage.

If someone is driving through an intersection then they are more likely to be struck by a vehicle. If their car is damaged they'll be accountable for repairs. The reason for an accident could be a fracture in the brick that leads to an infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by a defendant is the second element of negligence that must be proven to win compensation in a personal injury claim. A breach of duty happens when the actions of a party who is at fault are not in line with what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for instance has many professional obligations to his patients, which stem from the law of the state and licensing bodies. Motorists owe a duty care to other motorists and pedestrians on the road to be safe and follow traffic laws. If a driver violates this duty and causes an accident is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not satisfy the standard through his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant complied with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. For instance, a defendant may have been a motorist who ran a red light, but it's likely that his or her actions wasn't the proximate cause of your bike crash. The issue of causation is often challenged in cases of crash by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle-related cases, the plaintiff must prove that there is a causal connection between the breach of the defendant and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffers a neck injury in a rear-end collision and his or her attorney would argue that the accident caused the injury. Other factors that are needed to cause the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable and do not affect the jury's determination of the liability.

It may be harder to prove a causal link between an act of negligence and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. The fact that the plaintiff had an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, abused alcohol and drugs or prior unemployment could have a influence on the severity of the psychological issues he or suffers following a crash, but the courts typically consider these factors as part of the circumstances that caused the accident resulted rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

If you've been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident it is essential to speak with a seasoned attorney. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury, commercial and business litigation, as well as motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have formed relationships with independent physicians with a variety of specialties including expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations as well with private investigators.

Damages

The damages a plaintiff can recover in a motor vehicle accident attorney vehicle lawsuit include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages includes the costs of monetary value that are easily added together and calculated as an overall amount, including medical treatment as well as lost wages, repairs to property, and even financial loss, like loss of earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages such as suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. However, these damages must be proven to exist with the help of extensive evidence, including deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts will often use comparative fault rules to determine the amount of total damages that should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine the amount of fault each defendant was responsible for the accident, and then divide the total amount of damages by the percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow for this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by drivers of these vehicles and trucks. The analysis to determine whether the presumption is permissive or not is complicated. The majority of the time it is only a clear evidence that the owner refused permission for the driver to operate the vehicle can be sufficient to overturn the presumption.
