New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that should a jury find you to be at fault for an accident, your damages will be reduced based on your percentage of blame. There is a slight exception 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 negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was bound by the duty of care toward them. This duty is owed to all people, however those who operate vehicles owe an even higher duty to other drivers in their field. This includes ensuring that they don't cause Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms assess an individual's actions to what a typical individual would do under the same conditions to determine reasonable standards of care. In the case of medical malpractice expert witnesses are typically required. Experts who have a greater understanding of particular fields may be held to a greater standard of medical care.

A breach of a person's obligation of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim has to establish that the defendant's breach of their duty caused the damage and injury they sustained. Causation is a crucial element of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the proximate and real causes of the injury and damages.

If someone runs an stop sign, they are likely to be struck by another vehicle. If their car is damaged they will be responsible for repairs. The cause of a crash could be caused by a brick cut that develops into an infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty committed by the defendant. This must be proved in order to be awarded compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty happens when the actions of the person at fault aren't in line with what reasonable people would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a doctor is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients stemming from state law and licensing boards. Motorists have a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians on the road to drive in a safe manner and adhere to traffic laws. When a driver breaches this obligation of care and results in an accident, he is liable for the injury suffered by the victim.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then show that the defendant did not satisfy the standard through his actions. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide if the defendant met the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach of duty was the main cause of the injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have driven through a red light, but that's not the cause of the bicycle accident. Because of this, causation is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. If the plaintiff sustained an injury to the neck in a rear-end accident then his or her attorney will argue that the crash caused the injury. Other elements that are required in causing the collision like being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable and will not affect the jury's determination of liability.

It is possible to establish a causal connection between a negligent act, and the plaintiff's psychological problems. The fact that the plaintiff had an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with his or her parents, used drugs and alcohol or experienced prior unemployment could have a bearing on the severity of the psychological problems he or suffers from following an accident, but courts generally view these factors as part of the context that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

It is crucial to consult an experienced lawyer should you be involved in a serious motor vehicle accident lawyers accident. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have years of experience in representing clients in motor vehicle accidents commercial and business litigation, and personal injury cases.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a person can recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first type of damages includes all costs that can be easily added together and then calculated into an overall amount, including medical expenses, lost wages, repairs to property, and even future financial losses, such as the loss of earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. These damages must be proved by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff or medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine the proportion of damages award should be allocated between them. The jury will determine the percentage of fault each defendant carries for the accident, and divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. New York law however, doesn't allow this. 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the comparative negligence rule in cases where injuries are sustained by the drivers of cars or trucks. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage applies is complicated, and typically only a convincing evidence that the owner specifically was not granted permission to operate the car will overcome it.
