motor vehicle accident lawyers Vehicle Litigation

When liability is contested in court, it becomes necessary to make a complaint. The Defendant has the right to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that if the jury finds that you are responsible for causing a crash the damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule is not applicable to the owners of vehicles that are rented out or leased to minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence suit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant was obligated to exercise reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, however those who sit behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have a greater obligation to the people in their area of operation. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior to what a typical individual would do in similar conditions to determine an acceptable standard of care. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required in cases of medical malpractice. Experts with a higher level of expertise in a particular field may be held to an higher standard of care than others in similar situations.

A breach of a person's obligation of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant's breach of their duty led to the injury and damages that they sustained. Proving causation is an essential aspect of any negligence case, and it involves considering both the actual cause of the injury or damages as well as the cause of the damage or injury.

For instance, if a driver has a red light and is stopped, they will be hit by a car. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for the repairs. But the reason for the crash could be a cut from the brick, which then develops into a serious infection.

Breach of Duty

The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by a defendant. This must be proved for compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the person at fault are not in line with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.

A doctor, for example, has a number of professional obligations to his patients. These professional obligations stem from the law of the state and licensing authorities. Drivers are bound to be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians, as well as to respect traffic laws. If a driver violates this duty and creates an accident is accountable for the injuries suffered by the victim.

Lawyers can use the "reasonable persons" standard to establish that there is a duty to be cautious and then demonstrate that defendant did not adhere to this standard in his conduct. The jury will decide if the defendant met or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the main cause of his or her injuries. It can be more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have driven through a red light, but that's not what caused the crash on your bicycle. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle accidents, the plaintiff must prove a causal link between defendant's breach and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffers neck injuries as a result of a rear-end accident the attorney for the plaintiff will argue that the incident was the reason for the injury. Other factors that are essential to cause the collision, like being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable, and do not affect the jury's decision of the liability.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between negligence and the victim's afflictions may be more difficult to establish. It could be the case that the plaintiff has had a difficult past, has a difficult relationship with their parents, or has abused drugs or alcohol.

It is crucial to consult an experienced attorney should you be involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. The attorneys at Arnold & Clifford, LLP have years of experience representing clients in personal injury as well as commercial and business litigation, and motor vehicle accident cases. Our lawyers have established relationships with independent physicians in a wide range of specialties including expert witnesses in accident reconstruction and computer simulations as well as with private investigators.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff may get both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages is any monetary costs that can be easily added up and calculated as an amount, like medical treatment or lost wages, property repair and even future financial losses, like a decrease in earning capacity.

New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages such as pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. The proof of these damages is through extensive evidence such as depositions from family members and friends of the plaintiff medical records, depositions, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use the concept of comparative negligence to decide the percentage of damages award should be allocated between them. The jury will determine the percentage of fault each defendant carries for the incident, and divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. New York law however, doesn't allow this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries sustained by the driver of these vehicles and trucks. The process of determining whether the presumption is permissive is complex. Most of the time it is only a clear evidence that the owner was not able to grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome the presumption.
