motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation
If liability is contested and the liability is disputed, it is necessary to make a complaint. The defendant then has the opportunity to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that when a jury finds you responsible for an accident the damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is a caveat to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles that are rented or leased to minors.
Duty of Care
In a lawsuit for negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. This duty is owed by everyone, but those who operate vehicles owe an even higher duty to others in their field. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.
In courtrooms, the standards of care are determined by comparing the actions of an individual with what a typical person would do in similar circumstances. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required in cases involving medical negligence. Experts with more experience in a certain field may be held to a greater standard of care.
A breach of a person's duty of care may cause harm to a victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of duty caused the injury and damages that they have suffered. The proof of causation is an essential part of any negligence case and involves investigating both the primary reason for the injury or damages as well as the proximate cause of the injury or damage.
For instance, if a driver runs a red light and is stopped, they'll be struck by another car. If their car is damaged they will be responsible for repairs. The real cause of the crash could be a brick cut which develops into an infection.
Breach of Duty
A defendant's breach of duty is the second element of negligence that must be proved to obtain compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the person at fault aren't in line with what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance, is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients, arising from state law and licensing boards. Drivers are bound to care for other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. If a driver violates this obligation and results in an accident is responsible for the victim's injuries.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then demonstrate that the defendant failed to meet the standard in his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant met the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also prove that the breach by the defendant was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have driven through a red light, but that wasn't what caused your bicycle accident. Because of this, causation is often contested by the defendants in cases of crash.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffered a neck injury in an accident that involved rear-end collisions, his or her attorney will argue that the incident was the reason for the injury. Other factors necessary to cause the collision, like being in a stationary car are not culpable and motor vehicle accidents will not influence the jury’s determination of the fault.
It is possible to establish a causal relationship between an act of negligence and the psychological issues of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff has a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with his or her parents, used alcohol and drugs or previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological problems he or suffers from following an accident, however, the courts generally view these factors as part of the circumstances that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.
If you've been involved in an accident that is serious to your vehicle it is essential to speak with a seasoned attorney. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have years of experience representing clients in motor vehicle accident cases, business and commercial litigation, and personal injury cases. Our lawyers have established working relationships with independent doctors in various specialties, as well experts in computer simulations and reconstruction of accident.
Damages
The damages that plaintiffs can claim in a motor vehicle case include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary expenses that can be easily added up and calculated as a total, for example, medical treatment, lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses, like a decrease in earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. However the damages must be proved to exist by a variety of evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's family members and close friends, medical records, and other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use rules of comparative negligence to determine how much of the damages award should be allocated between them. The jury has to determine the proportion of fault each defendant is responsible for the accident, and divide the total amount of damages awarded by the same percentage. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule in relation to injuries sustained by the driver of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive use applies is complex and typically only a clear proof that the owner specifically refused permission to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome it.
