Motor Vehicle Litigation

If liability is contested in court, it becomes necessary to start a lawsuit. The Defendant will then have the chance to respond to the complaint.

New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that, when a jury finds you to be responsible for an accident the damages you incur will be reduced according to your percentage of fault. There is a caveat to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are which are rented or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed the duty of care towards them. Most people owe this duty to everyone else, but individuals who get behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have a higher obligation to the other drivers in their zone of operation. This includes ensuring that there are no accidents in piedmont motor vehicle accident attorney vehicles.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions to what a typical individual would do in the same circumstances to determine what constitutes reasonable standards of care. In the event of medical negligence expert witnesses are typically required. Experts with a superior understanding of particular fields may be held to a greater standard of care.

When a person breaches their duty of care, it can cause harm to the victim and/or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant acted in breach of their duty and caused the injury or damage they sustained. Proving causation is an essential part of any negligence case and involves looking at both the actual cause of the injury or damages and the proximate cause of the injury or damage.

If a person is stopped at an intersection it is likely that they will be struck by another vehicle. If their car is damaged, they'll need to pay for repairs. But the actual cause of the crash might be a cut in bricks that later develop into a serious infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by a defendant. This must be proven in order to receive compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the person who is at fault fall short of what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example is a professional with a range of professional duties towards his patients that are derived from laws 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 obligation and creates an accident is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable people" standard to show that there is a duty of care and then prove that the defendant did not meet the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant fulfilled or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also establish that the breach of duty of the defendant was the primary cause of the injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant may have run through a red light but that's not what caused the accident on your bicycle. This is why the causation issue is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. If a plaintiff suffers an injury to the neck in an accident that involved rear-end collisions then his or her attorney would argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other factors that are needed in causing the collision like being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable and will not affect the jury's decision of the liability.

It is possible to establish a causal link between a negligent action and the psychological symptoms of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, experimented with alcohol and drugs, or suffered prior unemployment could have a bearing on the severity of the psychological issues suffers following an accident, but courts typically view these elements as part of the circumstances from which the plaintiff's accident arose rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident it is essential to consult with an experienced attorney. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury, commercial and business litigation and lincoln park motor vehicle accident law firm vehicle accident cases.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff could recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages comprises any financial costs that can easily be added up and calculated as the sum of medical expenses loss of wages, property repair and even future financial losses like diminished earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment, cannot be reduced to money. However these damages must be proved to exist with the help of extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close family members and friends, medical records, and other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Vimeo courts will typically employ comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages that should be divided between them. The jury has to determine the percentage of fault each defendant is accountable for the accident, and divide the total damages awarded by the same percentage. New York law however, does not permit this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by drivers of those cars and trucks. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage applies is complicated and typically only a clear showing that the owner has explicitly denied permission to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome it.
