Motor Vehicle Litigation

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

In order to be held liable for personal injury, the defendant has to be negligent during the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the extent to which negligence contributed to the accident.

Liability

The goal of a motor crash claim is to seek compensation from the party who caused the injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. Unless the injured victim lives in one of the few states that operate under a no-fault insurance system, an automobile or trucking accident lawsuit must demonstrate that the defendant's negligent actions or inaction resulted in a collision and injuries to the body.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining the fault of the driver or a different defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on the plaintiff's ability to establish their defendant's liability based on the traditional tort liability rules, including a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the breach of the duty, actual and proximate causation, and injuries.

A experienced lawyer can assist with determining liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle could be involved in a lawsuit as well. Most insurance policies for automobiles offer coverage to anyone who uses the vehicle with the consent of the owner, with certain exceptions. This usually includes a look at CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing comprehensive documentation on out-of pocket expenses and future loss that will be expected due to the injuries sustained. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical bills and lost income, while the latter covers more intangible things like pain and suffering. It can be difficult to quantify the dollar value of the non-economic damage, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.

Your attorney will assist in formulating your damages with the use of a range of techniques. This could include hiring accident reconstruction experts who look over police reports, photos and witnesses' statements, and other evidence to reconstruct the accident.

Your attorney will also help to support your claim by providing expert opinions that outline the economic and non-economic effects of your injuries. This includes estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. These are vital to ensure that you are completely compensated for any losses that you have suffered and continue to experience in the near future.

Comparative Fault

In a car wreck, a system known as comparative blame (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the injured party is accountable for. This is a major issue in a number of cases, and something your lawyer may have to prove.

Most states have a form of comparative fault rule that allows victims to receive compensation even if their share of the blame lies with an accident. The amount of compensation will be based on the level of fault. So, for example when a jury awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40% at fault, you'd receive only $60,000.

However, the law is much more complicated than that because there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which bars an injured party from claiming damages if they are more than 50 percent at fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that adhere to this rule. The other type, known as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to seek damages if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In most instances, an individual who has been injured in a car accident can sue. However the lawsuits must be filed within a specific time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim is forfeited and barred forever.

The statute of limitations has nothing to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle it, and has everything to do with the trigger event in the case-the incident or accident that caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to run is essential for respecting this important rule.

In New York, people who are injured in car crashes generally have three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. This time frame may be cut down in certain situations, however. For example, in cases where minors are involved the time limit for a lawsuit is suspended until the child is free by marrying or turning 18 which is typically two years after the incident. There are other circumstances, and a seasoned lawyer can advise on the specifics.
