Liability

The aim of a motor crash claim is to recover damages from the other party to compensate for injuries and losses caused through their negligence.

This analysis consists of a thorough review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

These are referred to as economic or noneconomic damages.

Comparative Fault

In a car accident, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault the injured party is accountable for. In many cases, it's an important issue that your lawyer will have to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault system that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of whether their part of the blame is for an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced based on their level of fault. For instance when a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries but finds you are 40% at fault, you will be awarded only $60,000.

But the law is more complex than that because there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The one is known as the 50 bar rule, which blocks the victim from claiming damages in cases where they are more than 50% at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99 per cent responsible.

However, these lawsuits must be filed within a specified timeframe known as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim is forfeited and barred for life.

In New York, people who suffer injuries in car crashes generally have three years to bring personal injury lawsuits. In some instances the timeline may be reduced.
