Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle crash lawsuits, the plaintiff's damages are lowered based on their percentage of fault. This is determined by the jury based on the evidence presented to them.

To be held liable for personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent in the incident. Liability is determined by the extent to which negligence contributed to the accident.

Liability

The purpose of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to seek compensation from the party who caused the injuries and losses caused through their negligence. Unless the victim is in one of the states that operate under a no fault insurance system for trucking or automobile accidents, an accident lawsuit must demonstrate that the defendant's negligent actions or failure to act caused a collision with the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining if the driver at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accidents cases rely on a plaintiff's capacity to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on traditional tort liability principles and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the breach of the duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can assist in analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle might be involved in a lawsuit as well. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles provide protection to those who operate the vehicle with the approval of the owner, with certain exceptions. This usually involves analyzing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing a detailed account of expenses out of pocket as well as future losses that are likely to arise from the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The first is for things like medical expenses and lost income as well as compensation for intangibles such suffering and pain. It is difficult to quantify a dollar amount on the non-economic damage, such as mental distress and loss of enjoyment in life.

Your attorney will assist you in calculating your damages through the use of a variety of methodologies. This includes retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will analyze photos of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct how the accident occurred.

Your lawyer will also support your case with expert opinions detailing the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. These will include estimates of costs for future care and assistance as well as wage projections and other financial considerations. These are necessary in order to ensure that you're fully compensated for the loss you have incurred and will experience in the future.

Comparative Fault

In a car wreck, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the person who was injured is accountable for. It's a key issue in a lot of cases and something your lawyer may have to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of comparative fault rule that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of their share of the blame is for an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be reduced by their level of fault. For example If a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries but finds you are 40 percent at fault, you'd only get $60,000.

There are two distinct types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This bar rule blocks the injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50 percent. It is a rule that is followed by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variant is pure comparative fault. This allows victims to seek damages even if found to be 99 % at fault.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of instances, the person who was injured in a car accident can bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain time frame, known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim will be barred and forfeited forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to have anything to do with whether the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case, and everything to do with the trigger event in the case-the accident or incident that led to the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock begins to tick is vital for the proper application of this important legal requirement.

In New York, people who suffer injuries in car crashes generally have three years to bring personal injury lawsuits. This time frame can be reduced in certain circumstances, however. For instance, in situations where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is suspended until the child is fully emancipated through marriage or turning 18 which is usually two years after the incident. There are other exceptions, and experienced attorneys can assist with the specifics.
