Motor Vehicle Litigation

A lawsuit is required when liability is contested. The defendant is entitled to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that when a jury finds that you are responsible for causing a crash the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule does not apply to the owners of vehicles that are which are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, however those who sit behind the steering wheel of a motor vehicle have a greater obligation to other people in their field of operation. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.

In courtrooms, the quality of care is determined by comparing an individual's conduct against what a normal individual would do under similar conditions. In the event of medical negligence, expert witnesses are usually required. People with superior knowledge in particular fields may be held to a greater standard of medical care.

If someone violates their duty of care, it could cause damage to the victim as well as their property. The victim has to show that the defendant's infringement of their duty resulted in the injury and damages that they have suffered. Causation is an important part of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the proximate and actual causes of the injury and damages.

For instance, if a driver has a red light and is stopped, they'll be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll need to pay for repairs. But the reason for the crash could be a cut or a brick that later develops into a serious infection.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty by a defendant is the second element of negligence that must be proved in order to receive compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the party at fault fall short of what an average person would do in similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example has a variety of professional obligations to his patients. These professional obligations stem from state law and licensing bodies. Drivers are obliged to care for other drivers and pedestrians, as well as to respect traffic laws. If a motorist violates this duty of care and creates an accident, he is liable for the victim's injuries.

Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of the duty of care, and then prove that the defendant did not comply with the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the breach by the defendant was the direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant could have run through a red light, however, that's not the reason for the crash on your bicycle. This is why causation is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases the plaintiff must establish an causal link between breach of the defendant and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff sustained neck injuries as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends and their lawyer could argue that the collision caused the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable and won't affect the jury’s determination of the degree of fault.

For psychological injuries However, the connection between an act of negligence and an victim's afflictions may be more difficult to establish. It could be the case that the plaintiff has a rocky background, a strained relationship with their parents, or is a user of alcohol or drugs.

It is crucial to consult an experienced attorney should you be involved in a serious motor accident. The lawyers at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury as well as commercial and business litigation, and motor vehicle accident law firms vehicle crash cases. Our lawyers have established working relationships with independent doctors in various specialties, as well experts in computer simulations and accident reconstruction.

Damages

The damages that plaintiffs can seek in motor vehicle litigation include both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages covers any monetary 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 a diminished 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. The damages must be proven through extensive evidence like depositions from family members and friends of the plaintiff medical records, depositions, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must determine how much responsibility each defendant incurred in the accident and to then divide the total damages award by the percentage of blame. However, New York law 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by the driver of those cars and trucks. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive use applies is not straightforward and usually only a clear showing that the owner was explicitly refused permission to operate the car will be sufficient to overcome it.
