Motor Vehicle Litigation
When liability is contested in court, it becomes necessary to file a lawsuit. The defendant has the option to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that should a jury find you responsible for the crash the amount of damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. This rule does not apply to owners of vehicles which are rented out or leased to minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. Nearly everyone owes this obligation to everyone else, but those who are behind 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.
In courtrooms, the standard of care is established by comparing an individual's actions against what a normal individual would do in the same situations. This is why expert witnesses are often required in cases involving medical malpractice. Experts who have a superior understanding in a particular field can also be held to an higher standard of care than other people in similar situations.
When a person breaches their duty of care, it can cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim must prove that the defendant acted in breach of their obligation and caused the damage or damage that they suffered. Proving causation is an essential element in any negligence case which involves taking into consideration both the real basis of the injury or damages as well as the reason for the injury or damage.
For instance, if someone runs a red light then it's likely that they'll be hit by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll have to pay for the repairs. The reason for the crash could be a cut from bricks, which later turn into a potentially dangerous infection.
Breach of Duty
A defendant's breach of duty is the second aspect of negligence that has to be proved in order to secure compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of a party who is at fault aren't in line with what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.
For instance, motor vehicle accidents a doctor is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients stemming from state law and licensing boards. Drivers are required to be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. If a motorist violates this obligation of care and results in an accident, he is accountable for the injuries sustained by the victim.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable individuals" standard to demonstrate that there is a duty to be cautious and then prove that the defendant failed to meet the standard in his actions. It is a question of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's negligence was the primary cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For instance the defendant could have crossed a red light, however, the act wasn't the proximate reason for your bicycle crash. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck in an accident that involved rear-end collisions the attorney for the plaintiff would argue that the accident caused the injury. Other elements that are required for the collision to occur, like being in a stationary car, are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's determination of liability.
For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and the injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with their parents, used alcohol and drugs or had prior unemployment could have a impact on the severity of the psychological issues suffers following a crash, but the courts typically look at these factors as part of the circumstances that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.
If you have been in an accident involving a motor vehicle that was serious it is essential to speak with a seasoned attorney. 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 working relationships with independent doctors in different specialties, as well as experts in computer simulations and reconstruction of accident.
Damages
The damages that plaintiffs can seek in motor vehicle litigation include both economic and non-economic damages. The first type of damages comprises any financial costs that can be easily added to calculate a sum, such as medical expenses and 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 and loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. These damages must be established through extensive evidence like depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.
In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use the rules of comparative negligence to determine how much of the damages award should be allocated between them. The jury must decide the percentage of fault each defendant has for the accident and then divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. However, New York law 1602 does not exempt vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are caused by drivers of cars or trucks. The method of determining if the presumption is permissive is complicated. In general it is only a clear evidence that the owner was not able to grant permission to the driver to operate the vehicle can be sufficient to overturn the presumption.
