Motor Vehicle Litigation
In the majority of motor vehicle accident lawsuits, the plaintiff’s damages are reduced by their percentage fault. This is determined by the jury based on evidence presented to them.
In order to be held liable for personal injuries the defendant must be negligent during the incident. Liability is determined by the degree to which negligence caused the accident.
Liability
The purpose of a motor accident claim is to obtain compensation from the party who caused the injuries and losses that were 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 will require showing that the negligent act of a defendant or inaction resulted in a collision and the resulting bodily injury.
An experienced attorney can help you determine whether the driver at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accidents cases rely on a plaintiff's capacity to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on the tort liability standard, including a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of that duty, real and proximate causation and injuries.
A skilled lawyer can also help analyze liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is a party in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles provide an affirmative coverage to anyone operating the vehicle with owner's permission but subject to certain restrictions. This analysis includes a review of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough documents on the out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred, as well as future loss that will be expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.
The former is used to cover things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter pays for intangibles such as pain and suffering. It is difficult to establish an amount of money on the non-economic damage, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment.
Your lawyer will assist you in calculating your damages through the use of a variety. This includes hiring experts in the field of accident reconstruction who look at photographs of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct how the accident occurred.
Your attorney will also bolster your claim by providing expert opinions outlining the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. This includes cost estimates for care and support in the future, wage projections, and other financial factors. This is necessary to ensure that you are fully compensated for the loss that you have suffered and be able to recover in the future.
Comparative Fault
A system known as comparative fault, also referred to as contributory negligence - defines how much fault an injured person is held responsible for in a car accident. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney will have to prove.
Most states implement some kind of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to claim compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to the degree of fault. If, for instance, the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries but finds that you're 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.
But the law is more complicated than that, since there are two distinct kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This bar rule blocks an injured party from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50%. This is the practice of a few states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variant is pure comparative fault. This allows victims to claim damages even if found to be 99 percent at fault.
Statute of limitations
In the majority of cases, an injured person in a car crash can file a lawsuit. These lawsuits must, however, be filed within a certain timeframe of limitations, or else the claim of the victim will be barred forever.
The statute of limitations is not a factor in whether or not an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It is all about the initial event that triggered the case, whether it was an incident or accident which caused the injury. Thus, knowing precisely when the clock begins to tick is crucial for ensuring compliance with this important legal rule.
In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to make personal injury lawsuits. This timeline may be shortened in certain circumstances, however. For example, in cases where a minor is involved the statute of limitations is suspended until the child becomes emancipated by getting married or reaching age 18, which is usually two years after the incident. There are other exceptions, and a knowledgeable lawyer can advise on the specifics.
