Motor Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle crash cases, the plaintiff's award is lowered by their percentage of fault. The jury decides this on the basis of the evidence they are presented.

To be liable for an injury the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the extent to which negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to obtain compensation from the other party in exchange for injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking accident will require that the victim's claim be proven that the negligent actions of the defendant or inactions led to a collision, and the bodily injury that resulted from it.

An experienced attorney can help you determine whether the driver who was 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 the principles of tort liability and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of that duty, actual and proximate causation, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle are involved in a lawsuit. The majority of automobile insurance policies include an affirmative guarantee of protection to anyone driving the vehicle with owner's permission but subject to certain restrictions. This usually involves analyzing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed information on the expenses out of pocket and future loss that will be expected due to the injuries sustained. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical bills and lost earnings, while the second is compensation for more intangible issues like suffering and pain. It is difficult to quantify the dollar value of non-economic losses, like mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your lawyer will help you calculate your damages using a variety of methods. This may include retaining accident reconstruction specialists who will review police reports, photographs as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the accident.

Your attorney will also be able to support your claim by obtaining expert opinions that outline the economic and noneconomic impacts of your injuries. This will include cost estimates for care and support in the future, wage projections, and other financial considerations. This is necessary to ensure that you're fully compensated for the losses you've suffered and will encounter in the near future.

Comparative Fault

A system known as comparative fault - or contributory negligence - defines the amount of fault that an injured person could be accountable for a car crash. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your attorney will have to prove.

Most states have a form of comparative fault rule that allows victims to be compensated regardless of their share of the blame is attributed to an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be reduced by the degree of fault. If, for example an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, but decides that you're at 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.

However, the law is more complex than that, since there are two distinct forms of modified comparative fault rules. The first is referred to as the 50 bar rule, which bars an injured party from claiming damages when they are more than 50% at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other variant is called pure comparative fault. This allows victims to recover damages even if they are found to be at fault.

Statute of limitations

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

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle the case, and everything to do with the trigger event that started the case-the accident or incident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock starts to tick is crucial for the compliance of this crucial rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to make a personal injury claim. This timeline may be shortened in certain situations, however. For instance, in cases where minors are involved the statute of limitations is suspended until the child becomes emancipated by getting married or turning 18 which is usually two years after the accident. There are also exceptions and seasoned lawyers can help you understand the particulars.
