Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle crash lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are lowered based on their percentage of fault. The jury decides this according to the evidence they are presented.

To be held responsible for a personal injury the defendant must be negligent during the incident. Liability is determined based on the degree of negligence that contributed to the accident.

Liability

The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to seek compensation from the other party for damages and injuries caused by their negligence. Unless the victim is in one of the states that operate under a no-fault system of insurance the filing of an auto or trucking accident lawsuit requires that the defendant's negligent actions or inaction caused a collision and injuries to the body.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining the fault of the driver or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accident cases turn on a plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on the principles of tort liability which include a defendant's obligation to the plaintiff, the breach of this duty, the actual and proximate causation, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in analyzing liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is a party in a lawsuit. The majority of automobile insurance policies provide protection to those who operate the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis consists of a thorough review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing comprehensive evidence of the expenses which are incurred, and also future loss that will be expected due to the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

The first is for things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter pays for intangibles like suffering and pain. It is difficult to establish the dollar value of non-economic damages like mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will help to calculate the damages you have suffered with a variety of methods. This could include retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will analyze photos, police reports witness statements, and other evidence to reconstruct the accident.

Your attorney will also be able to support your claim by getting expert opinions that detail the economic and noneconomic impacts of your injuries. These will include estimates of future medical and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. They are required in order to ensure that you're fully compensated for any losses you've incurred and experience in the future.

Comparative Fault

In a car wreck, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the injured party is accountable for. It's a key issue in many cases and something your attorney may be required to prove.

The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to seek compensation even if have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by the level of fault. For instance when a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent at fault, you'd be awarded only $60,000.

There are two types of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out an injured party from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that adhere to this rule. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of Limitations

In most instances, a person injured involved in a car accident may bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must be filed within the statute of limitations, or else the victim's claim will be forever barred.

The statute of limitations has nothing to do whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It's focused on the primary event that initiated the case, whether it was an incident or accident which caused the injury. Determining the exact time the clock starts to tick is crucial to ensure the compliance of this crucial rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents can have up to three years to make a personal injury claim. The timeframe may be reduced in some circumstances, however. If a child is involved, as in the statute is suspended until the child becomes free, which is achieved by marriage or at the age of 18 typically two years after the incident. There are other exceptions, and experienced attorneys can provide advice on the specifics.
