Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages award is reduced by their percentage of the fault. This is determined by jurors based on evidence presented to them.

To be held accountable for an injury the defendant must be negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined by the degree to which negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The aim of a motor vehicle accident claim is to seek compensation from the party who caused the injuries and losses that were caused through their negligence. A lawsuit for an automobile or trucking collision will require that the injured victim prove that the defendant's negligent acts or inactions caused a collision and the bodily injuries that resulted.

An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining the fault of the driver or a different defendant is accountable for motor vehicle accident your losses. The majority of auto accidents cases depend on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's guilt based on tort liability principles. This includes a defendant’s duty to the victim, the defendant's failure to fulfill this duty, direct and real causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also help analyze liability in situations in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle are involved in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles offer coverage to any person who drives the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This usually involves analyzing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle suit must establish damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing a detailed record of the expenses incurred out of pocket as well as future losses expected to arise from the injuries sustained. These are called economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income and the latter is for intangibles such as pain and suffering. It can be difficult to establish a dollar amount on non-economic damages, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will assist you in the calculation of your damages through the use of a variety of methodologies. This includes hiring experts in the field of accident reconstruction who look at images of the scene, police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to reconstruct how the accident occurred.

Your attorney will also help to support your claim with expert opinions that outline the economic and non-economic impacts of your injuries. This includes estimates of future care and support costs, wage projections and other financial considerations. They are required to ensure that you are fully compensated for the loss you have incurred and will encounter in the near future.

Comparative Fault

In a car wreck, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault that an injured party is responsible for. It's an important issue in a variety of cases and something your lawyer may be required to prove.

Most states adopt some type of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if share in the blame for an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be lowered by their level of blame. So, for example when a jury awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but finds that you're 40% in the wrong, you'd only get $60,000.

There are two distinct kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The one is known as the 50% bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from claiming damages if they are more than 50 percent at fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other variant, called pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages if they are found to be 99% at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In most instances, a person who is injured in a car crash is eligible to file a claim against the party responsible for the accident. These lawsuits must, however, be filed within the statute of limitations or else the victim's claim will be forever barred.

The statute of limitation does not have anything to do with whether or whether an insurance company representing the defendant will settle the case. It is all about the initial event that initiated the case, or the incident or accident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock begins 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 start a personal injury lawsuit. In some instances the timeline may be reduced. For example, in cases where minors are involved, the time limit for a lawsuit is suspended until the child is emancipated by getting married or turning 18 which typically takes two years after the accident. There are other circumstances, and a seasoned attorney can provide advice on the particulars.
