Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages award is lowered by their percentage of fault. The jury will determine this on the basis of the evidence presented to them.

To be held accountable for a personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent in the incident. Liability is determined based on the amount of negligence that contributed to the accident.

Liability

The objective of a motor crash claim is to recover damages from the other party for losses and injuries caused by their negligence. Unless the injured victim lives in one of the few states that operate under a no fault insurance system for trucking or automobile accidents, an accident lawsuit requires that the defendant's negligent actions or failure to act resulted in a collision, and injuries to the body.

An experienced attorney can help you determine if the at-fault driver or other defendant is liable for your losses. Most auto accident cases turn on the plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on traditional tort liability principles that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach of this duty, the actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in determining the liability of a situation where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles offer coverage to any person who drives the vehicle with the permission of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis includes a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

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

The former covers things such as medical expenses and lost earnings, while the latter is compensation for more intangible issues like suffering and pain. It is difficult to put an amount in dollars for non-economic losses, like mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will assist you calculate your damages through a variety of ways. This could include hiring accident reconstruction specialists who will analyze photos, police reports and witnesses' statements, and other evidence to reconstruct the crash.

Your lawyer will also support your claim with expert opinion that outline the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. This will include estimates of the cost for the future of care and support as well as wage projections and other financial aspects. They are required to ensure that you are fully compensated for the loss you have incurred and will suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

In the event of a car crash, the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault an injured party is responsible for. It's a crucial issue in a lot of cases and something that your attorney might need to prove.

Most states adopt some version of a a comparative blame rule, which permits victims to seek compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by their level of responsibility. For example, if a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40% in the wrong, you'd receive only $60,000.

However, the law is much more complicated than that, since there are two distinct forms of modified rules of comparative fault. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out the injured party from receiving compensation if they are at fault for more than 50%. It is used by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. Another variant is pure comparative fault, which allows victims to recover damages even if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In most instances, a person injured in a car accident can sue. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim will be barred and forfeited for ever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle, and everything to do with the initial triggering event in the case-the accident or incident that led to the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock starts to run is crucial in to ensure compliance with this important legal rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to make a personal injury claim. In certain cases the timeline may be shortened. For example, in cases where a minor is involved the limitation period is paused until the child becomes emancipated by getting married or reaching age 18, which is typically two years after the incident. There are exceptions to this and experienced attorneys can provide advice on the specifics.
