Motor Vehicle Litigation
In the majority of motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages are reduced by the percentage of fault. This is decided by jurors based on evidence presented to them.
To be held liable for injuries, the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. The degree of liability is determined by amount of negligence that contributed to the incident.
Liability
The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to recover damages from the party who caused the injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. A lawsuit for a car or trucking crash requires that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligent acts or inactions caused a collision and the bodily injuries that resulted.
An experienced lawyer can help you determine whether the person at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on the plaintiff's ability to establish the liability of their defendant based on traditional tort liability principles that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of that duty, real and proximate causation and injuries.
A competent lawyer can assist in determining liability in cases where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. Most automobile insurance policies grant protection to those who operate the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis also includes a look at of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages incurred by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation of the expenses incurred out of pocket as well as future losses expected to result from the injuries that were sustained. These are called economic and non-economic damages.
The former covers things such as medical expenses and lost income. The latter is a way to compensate for more intangible things such as pain and suffering. It is difficult to establish a dollar amount on non-economic damages, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment in life.
Your attorney will assist you in formulating your damages with the use of a range of techniques. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who look at photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to understand the circumstances of the crash.
Your attorney will also support your claim by obtaining expert opinions that outline the economic and noneconomic effects of your injuries. This will include estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. These are vital to ensure that you're completely compensated for any losses you have suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.
Comparative Fault
In a car accident the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that the injured party is accountable for. It's a key issue in many cases and something that your attorney might need to prove.
Many states have a type of comparative fault rule which allows victims to receive compensation regardless of their share of blame is an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to the degree of fault. So, for example the case where a judge awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent at fault, you'd be awarded only $60,000.
However, the law is much more complicated than that, because there are two distinct forms of modified rules of comparative fault. The one is known as the 50 bar rule, which blocks the victim from claiming damages if they are more than 50% at fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. Another variation is known as pure comparative fault. It allows victims to recover damages even if found to be at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of instances, a person injured in a car crash can bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the statute of limitations or else the victim's claim will be barred forever.
The statute of limitations does not have anything to be concerned with whether or not the defendant's insurance company will settle or not, and everything to do with the trigger event that started the case-the incident or accident that caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock begins to tick is crucial for complying with this important rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents have up to three years to make a personal injury claim. In certain cases, this timeline can be shortened. For example, in cases where minors are involved, the statute of limitations is suspended until the child becomes free by marrying or turning 18 which typically takes two years after the date of the accident. Other exceptions exist and experienced attorneys can assist with the specifics.
