Motor Vehicle Powers of Attorney

A number of parties are often at fault for an accident. In such cases the jury could distribute the award of damages to the injured party based on their percentage of negligence.

Even though DMV hearings aren't criminal court-related, an experienced NYC traffic attorney can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case. Gannes & Musico, LLP has extensive experience in representing clients in these proceedings.

Power of Attorney

Power of attorney is a legal document that permits one person (the principal) to authorize another person (the agent) to act on his or her behalf. The document can grant a broad or limited power and must be prepared according to the laws of the state. The document must be signed or notarized by a notary or witness. A motor vehicle power of attorney grants the agent authority to handle the responsibilities of a vehicle and could include the power to sell a car, for instance. If you want to prepare a Power of Attorney yourself you can contact your local Department of motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicles or using a free online legal website like eForms or NYLawHelp. You could also ask someone to do it.

Third parties are sometimes unable to comply with Powers of Attorney. This can be for a variety of reasons. In some cases the refusal causes harm to the Principal, and the third party may be held liable for damages.

To prevent this from happening to avoid this, it is essential that the Power of Attorney include language which states that the agent will not be the owner of any real property or other asset that is owned by the principal unless explicitly stated in the document. The document should also provide that the agent must report to an outside party a summary of all transactions and other issues in which he or she acts on behalf of the principal.

DMV Hearings

You have the right to appeal a decision in the event that DMV makes a decision that is discretionary against you (such as refusal to take breathalyzer testing). These hearings are conducted either in person or by phone, and usually held before a safety driver hearing officer from DMV. At the hearing, DMV goes first, presenting all evidence it has against you and any witness testimony it has subpoenaed. Then you're able to present affirmative evidence (documents or witnesses, or even your own testimony) and attack the DMV's argument in closing arguments and ask questions of the hearing officer.

Achieving the DMV hearing is largely contingent on the specifics of your case, but you are more likely to win by hiring an attorney. A lawyer can help determine the extent of any errors committed by the police officers in your case during your arrest. For example, they may not have told you that you could lose your license if refused to take a breath test.

Although you aren't legally required to use an attorney present at the time of a DMV hearing by law hiring a NYC DMV lawyer can make the process more efficient. A lawyer is well-versed in all laws applicable to these cases and can assist you to effectively present your case. In addition, they can help you avoid being unfairly penalized by the DMV.

Suspension of License

The Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend your license and driving privileges if you are found guilty of specific traffic violations or other legal violations. Usually the suspension or revocation is in effect until the time you complete all the steps required to get your license reinstated.

Your driver's license can be suspended for many reasons, based upon where you live. For instance in states that employ points system, the accumulation of too many points can result in the suspension of your license. In addition, a judge can also order your license to be suspended if you are convicted of a traffic crime. In the majority of instances, courts will permit you to drive using a restricted driving permit during the time of your suspension or revocation.

In some states your license could be revoked in certain cases, such as DUIs and vehicular manslaughter. Your license could be revoked if fail to pay back child support, or any other civil debts. You can also lose your license if you suffer from a medical condition that makes driving a car unsafe.

Your New York lawyer can help you determine the condition of your license and the best way to proceed. He or she will explain to you that in most cases, if you're license was suspended, you are entitled to a hearing at the DMV.

Representation

A representation letter is an important piece of paper that a lawyer delivers to the person they'll be suing. This puts the other party in the loop that they have a representative that will represent them, and it also allows the lawyer to request information and documents from that party.

A large number of motor vehicle accidents are founded on the tort theory of negligence. Negligence is defined as a failure to exercise the level of care that would be expected of someone who is prudent in the same circumstances. Accidents involving cars often involve multiple factors that can cause or contribute to the accident. A driver's negligence could include driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, or disregarding traffic signs. Other reasons include distracted driving such as using a cellular phone or attempting to put on makeup while driving.

There are instances where two people who have been injured in a car accident want the same lawyer to represent them. However, it is morally wrong for a single lawyer to represent both the passenger and driver in a personal injury claim. Each client has a conflict. This can be resolved by creating a separate contract between each client. Alternatively, passengers can hire their own lawyers to file a lawsuit against the driver.
