Motor Vehicle Litigation

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

To be liable for a personal injury the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the degree of negligence which contributed to the incident.

Liability

The purpose of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to collect damages from the party who caused the damages and injuries caused by their negligence. Unless the injured person lives in one of the states that operate under a no fault insurance system for trucking or automobile accidents, an accident lawsuit will require showing that the negligent act of a defendant or inaction caused a collision and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining if the at-fault driver or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. Most auto accidents cases rely on a plaintiff's capacity to prove their defendant's liability based on traditional tort liability principles that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of this duty, the causality that is actual and proximate, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can assist in determining the liability in cases where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle could be involved in a lawsuit, too. Most automobile insurance policies grant coverage to anyone who uses the vehicle with the consent of the owner, subject to certain exceptions. This analysis consists of a thorough review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle suit must establish 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 expected to arise as a result of the injuries sustained. These are referred to as economic or noneconomic damages.

The former covers things such as medical bills and lost income, while the latter is compensation for more intangible things like pain and suffering. It can be difficult to determine a dollar amount on non-economic losses, like mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your lawyer will assist you in formulating your damages with the use of a variety of methodologies. This includes hiring experts in accident reconstruction who will review photographs of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to determine how the accident occurred.

Your lawyer will also support your case with expert opinions detailing the economic and other consequences of your injuries. These will include estimates of future medical and support costs, wage projections, and other financial aspects. These are essential to ensure that you're fully compensated for any losses you've suffered and will encounter in the near future.

Comparative Fault

A system called comparative fault, also referred to as contributory negligence, determines the amount of fault that an injured person can be accountable for a car crash. It's an important issue in many cases and something your lawyer may need to prove.

Most states have some form of comparative fault rule that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of their share of the blame is attributed to an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be lowered by the degree of fault. So, for example the case where a judge gives you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40% at fault, you would receive only $60,000.

However, the law is much more complicated than that since there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50 bar rule. This rule prevents the injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50%. It is a rule that is followed by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant is called pure comparative fault, which allows victims to claim damages even if found to be at fault.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of instances, an individual who has been injured in a car crash can make a claim. These lawsuits must, however be filed within the statute of limitations or else the claim of the victim will be barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not affect whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It is all about the event that triggered the case, and the incident or accident that caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to tick is vital for complying with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to make a personal injury claim. The timeframe may be reduced in certain circumstances, but. For instance, in situations where a minor is involved the statute of limitations is paused until the child is legally emancipated after marriage or turning 18 which typically takes two years following the accident. There are other exceptions and experienced lawyers can advise on the specifics.
