Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior to what a typical person would do in the same circumstances to determine an acceptable standard of care. In cases of medical malpractice, expert witnesses are usually required. People who have superior knowledge in a particular field may also be held to a higher standard of care than others in similar situations.
When a person breaches their duty of care, they could cause harm to the victim and/or their property. The victim has to prove that the defendant's breach of their duty led to the injury and damages that they have suffered.

For example, if someone runs a red stop sign, it's likely that they will be hit by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for repairs. However, the real cause of the accident could be a cut or a brick that later develops into a serious infection.
Breach of Duty

For example, a defendant may have run a red light but his or her action wasn't the main cause of your bicycle crash. The issue of causation is often challenged in a crash case by defendants.
Causation
In motor vehicle accident lawsuit vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. For example, if the plaintiff suffered an injury to his neck in an accident that involved rear-ends the lawyer might argue that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are necessary in causing the collision such as being in a stationary car, are not culpable, and do not affect the jury's decision of the liability.
It may be harder to establish a causal connection between a negligent act and the psychological issues of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff had an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with their parents, was a user of drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological issues he or she suffers after an accident, but courts generally view these factors as part of the circumstances that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

The proof of these damages is by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members and friends of the plaintiff medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.

The jury must determine the percentage of blame each defendant is responsible for the accident, and divide the total damages awarded by the same percentage. However, New York law 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are caused by drivers of cars or trucks.
