Motor Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is necessary when liability is in dispute. The defendant has the right to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that when a jury finds you to be the cause of an accident the damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are that are rented or leased out to minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, but those who take the car have a greater obligation to the other drivers in their zone of activity. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.
Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior with what a normal person would do under the same circumstances to determine a reasonable standard of care. This is why expert witnesses are often required in cases involving medical malpractice. Experts who are knowledgeable of a specific area may be held to an even higher standard of care than other people in similar situations.
If a person violates their duty of care, it can cause harm to the victim and/or their property. The victim must show that the defendant's infringement of duty caused the harm and damages they have suffered. Proving causation is an essential aspect of any negligence claim and requires considering both the actual basis of the injury or damages and the proximate reason for the damage or injury.
For instance, if a person runs a red light there is a good chance that they'll be struck by a vehicle. If their car is damaged, they will be responsible for the repairs. The reason for the crash might be a cut in the brick, which then develops into a serious infection.
Breach of Duty
The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty committed by a defendant. It must be proven for compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty happens when the actions of the party at fault are not in line with what an average person would do in similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance, has several professional duties to his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Motorists owe a duty of care to other motorists and pedestrians to drive safely and observe traffic laws. When a driver breaches this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is responsible for the injuries suffered by the victim.
A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then prove that the defendant failed to comply with the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant fulfilled or did not meet the standards.
The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. For example the defendant could have crossed a red light, but it's likely that his or her actions wasn't the main cause of your bike crash. Because of this, causation is often contested by the defendants in case of a crash.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. For example, if the plaintiff sustained a neck injury from a rear-end collision and his or her lawyer would claim that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are essential for the collision to occur, such as being in a stationary vehicle, are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's decision of liability.
It can be difficult to prove a causal link between a negligent action and the psychological issues of the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff has a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with their parents, experimented with alcohol and drugs or had previous unemployment may have some bearing on the severity of the psychological problems he or suffers following a crash, but the courts typically view these elements as part of the background circumstances that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury arose rather than an independent reason for the injuries.

Damages
In motor vehicle litigation, a person can get both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that can be easily added to calculate the sum of medical expenses, lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses like a diminished earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. However these damages must be established to exist through extensive evidence, including deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close friends and family members medical records, deposition testimony, and other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts will often use comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages to be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine how much responsibility each defendant had for the accident, and then divide the total amount of damages by that percentage of fault. However, New York law 1602 excludes vehicle owners from the comparative negligence rule in the event of injuries suffered by drivers of cars or trucks. The method of determining if the presumption is permissive is complicated. Typically, only a clear demonstration that the owner was not able to grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will overrule the presumption.
