Motor Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle collision lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are diminished by their percentage fault. The jury will determine this based on the evidence they receive.

To be held accountable for personal injuries the defendant must have been negligent in the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the degree to which the negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The goal of a motor accident claim is to collect damages from the other party in exchange for injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. A lawsuit for an automobile or trucking collision will require that the injured victim prove that the negligent actions of the defendant or failure to act resulted in a collision and the bodily injury that resulted from it.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining the fault of the driver or a different defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto-related cases rely on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's responsibility based on tort liability principles. This includes a defendant's duty to the victim, defendant's infraction of this duty, direct and actual causation, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in determining liability in cases where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle are involved in a lawsuit. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles provide coverage to anyone who operates the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis will include a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle suit must establish damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing detailed documentation of the out-of-pocket expenses that were incurred as well as future losses that are expected to arise due to the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic and noneconomic damages.

The former is for things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter pays for intangibles, such as suffering and pain. It can be difficult to assign a precise dollar value to non-economic damages like mental stress and loss of enjoyment of life.

Your attorney will help to determine your damages with a variety of methods. This includes retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will review photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct how the crash occurred.

Your attorney will also help to support your claim by providing expert opinions outlining the economic and non-economic impacts of your injuries. This will include estimates of future medical and support costs, wage projections, and other financial factors. These are crucial to ensure that you are fully compensated for any losses you've suffered and continue to suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault - or contributory negligence - defines the amount of fault an injured person can be held responsible for in a car accident. It's an important issue in a lot of cases and something that your attorney might be required to prove.

The majority of states have some form of a comparative fault rule, which allows victims to seek compensation even if share in the blame for an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by the level of blame. For instance, if a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries, but concludes that you're 40% at fault, you would receive only $60,000.

However, the law is more complex than that, as there are two distinct forms of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This prevents the injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50%. It is used by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of Limitations

In the majority of instances, a person injured who is injured in a car crash may bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must, be filed within the statute of limitations or the claim of the victim is forever barred.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the defendant's insurance company will settle or not, and it is all about the trigger event in the case - the incident or accident that led to the injury. Determining the exact time the clock begins to run is essential for respecting this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. In some instances the timeline may be reduced. In cases where a child is involved, for instance, the statute is paused until the child is free, which is achieved by marrying or reaching the age of 18, usually two years after the accident. There are other exceptions, and a skilled attorney can give advice on the particulars.
