Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are lowered by their percentage fault. The jury will determine this based on the evidence they receive.

To be held liable for injuries the defendant must have been negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined by the extent of negligence that led to the accident.

Liability

The purpose of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to collect damages from the other party to compensate for injuries and losses caused through their negligence. A lawsuit for an auto or trucking crash requires that the victim of the accident prove that the defendant's negligent actions or failure to act caused a collision and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining whether the at-fault driver or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases are based on the plaintiff's ability to establish the liability of their defendant based on the principles of tort liability and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of this duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

Additionally, a competent lawyer can assist in determining the extent of liability in cases where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle might be involved in lawsuits as well. Most insurance policies for automobiles provide an affirmative insurance to anyone operating the vehicle with owner's permission with certain limitations. This analysis also includes a look at of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages sustained by plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing a detailed account of the out-of-pocket expenses that were incurred and also future losses expected to arise as a result of the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things such as medical bills and lost income. The latter is compensation for things that are more intangible like suffering and pain. It can be difficult to put an amount of money on non-economic damages, such as mental distress and loss of enjoyment in life.

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

Your lawyer will also aid your claim by getting expert opinions that detail the economic and noneconomic implications of your injuries. This will include estimates of future care and support costs, wage projections and other financial factors. These are vital to ensure you are completely compensated for any losses you have suffered and will continue to be afflicted in the future.

Comparative Fault

In a car wreck, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured person is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your lawyer will have to prove.

Most states adopt some version of a a comparative blame rule, which permits victims to seek compensation even if share the blame for an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be lowered by the degree of fault. If, for example the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries, but decides that you are 40 percent responsible, you will only receive $60,000.

But the law is more complex than that since there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This bar rule blocks an injured person from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent. It is used by some states, including Colorado and Utah. The other type is pure comparative fault. It allows victims to recover damages even if found to be 99 percent at fault.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of instances, a person who is injured in a car accident is allowed to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for the accident. However these lawsuits must be filed within a certain period of time, also known as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred for life.

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 triggering event that initiated the case - the incident or accident which caused the injury. Thus, knowing precisely when the clock begins to run is crucial in to ensure compliance with this important legal rule.

In New York, people who suffer injuries in car crashes generally have three years to make personal injury lawsuits. The timeframe may be reduced in certain circumstances, however. For example, in cases where minors are involved the limitation period is paused until the child becomes free by marrying or turning 18 which is typically two years after the incident. There are other exceptions and experienced attorneys can assist with the specifics.
