A motor vehicle case is a personal injury lawsuit that is based on an accident in a motor vehicle. Although most cases are governed by the common law principles of negligence but there are a range of particular issues that pertain to this area of practice.

Witness memory can also be altered when witnesses are given crucial questions or details. Researchers found that in one study asking participants to estimate the speed of a car influenced their responses. Other factors that affect the accuracy of eyewitness accounts include age and attention level, as well as skill and stress, health issues and prejudice.
