motor vehicle accident lawyers Vehicle Litigation

When liability is contested, it becomes necessary to start a lawsuit. The defendant is entitled 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. This rule is not applicable to owners of vehicles that are rented or leased out to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. This duty is owed to everyone, but those who operate a vehicle owe an even greater obligation to other people in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicles.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances to establish what is an acceptable standard of care. In the event of medical negligence expert witnesses are typically required. Experts with a superior understanding of a certain field may be held to a higher standard of medical care.

A person's breach of their duty of care may cause injury to a victim or their property. The victim has to show that the defendant violated their duty and caused the harm or damage that they suffered. Causation is an essential element of any negligence claim. It involves proving the proximate and actual causes of the damages and injuries.

For instance, if a person runs a red stop sign then it's likely that they'll be struck by a car. If their vehicle is damaged, they will have to pay for the repairs. The reason for the crash could be a brick cut that causes an infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by the defendant. The breach of duty must be proved in order to obtain compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault party are insufficient to what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor has several professional obligations to his patients based on laws of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to protect other motorists and pedestrians, and to obey traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is responsible for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable people" standard to establish that there is a duty of caution and then show that defendant failed to meet this standard with his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant was in compliance with the standard or not.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty of the defendant was the primary cause for the injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For example an individual defendant could have been a motorist who ran a red light, but it's likely that his or her actions was not the sole reason for your bicycle crash. This is why causation is often contested by the defendants in case of a crash.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of a rear-end collision and his or her lawyer would argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other elements that could have caused the collision, such as being in a stationary car are not culpable and will not influence the jury's determination of the degree of fault.

It could be more difficult to establish a causal link between a negligent action and the plaintiff's psychological problems. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, abused drugs and alcohol or experienced prior unemployment could have a impact on the severity of the psychological issues suffers from following an accident, however, the courts generally view these factors as an element of the background conditions that caused the accident was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

It is important to consult an experienced attorney in the event that you've been involved in a serious car accident. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have years of experience representing clients in motor vehicle Accident lawsuits vehicle accidents cases, business and commercial litigation, and personal injury cases. Our lawyers have developed working relationships with independent physicians in a variety of specialties, as well as expert witnesses in computer simulations as well as reconstruction of accidents.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff may recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages covers all costs that can easily be added up and summed up into an overall amount, including medical treatments as well as lost wages, repairs to property, and even financial losses, such as 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 of life which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. These damages must be established 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.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts will typically apply the rules of comparative fault to determine the amount of damages that should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine how much fault each defendant incurred in the accident and then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 disqualifies vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are sustained by drivers of trucks or cars. The process to determine if the presumption of permissiveness is complex. The majority of the time it is only a clear evidence that the owner denied permission to the driver to operate the vehicle can overrule the presumption.
