In most motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages award is lowered by their percentage of fault. The jury will make this decision in accordance with the evidence they are presented with.
To be liable for a personal injury the defendant must be negligent at the time of the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the degree to which negligence contributed to the accident.
Liability
The aim of a motor vehicle accident claim is to obtain compensation from the other party to compensate for injuries and losses caused by their negligence. Unless the injured victim lives in one of the few states that operate under a no-fault insurance program and a trucking accident lawsuit will require showing that a defendant's careless actions or failure to act resulted in a collision, and corresponding bodily injury.
An experienced attorney can help you determine whether the at-fault driver or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases hinge on a plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on traditional tort liability principles that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach of this duty, actual and proximate causation, and injuries.
A knowledgeable lawyer can assist in determining liability in cases in which the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle is a party in a lawsuit. The majority of automobile insurance policies provide protection to those who operate the vehicle under the authority of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis consists of a thorough review of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed information on the expenses out of pocket that are incurred, as well as future losses that are anticipated due to the injuries sustained. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.
The former covers things like medical bills and lost income. The latter covers more intangible things such as pain and suffering. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine a specific dollar value to damages that are not economic such as mental anxiety and loss of enjoyment of life.
Your lawyer will help you determine the amount of damages by with a variety of methods. This includes hiring experts in accident reconstruction who will look at photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct the circumstances of the crash.
Your attorney will also bolster your case with expert opinions detailing the economic and other effects of your injuries. This includes estimates of future healthcare and support costs, wage projections and other financial factors. These are vital to ensure that you're completely compensated for any losses you have suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.
Comparative Fault
In a car accident the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the degree of fault the person who was injured is accountable for. This is a major issue in a number of cases, and something that your attorney might need to prove.
Many states have a type of a comparative fault law that allows victims to receive compensation regardless of whether their part of the blame is for an accident. However, the amount of their settlement will be reduced based on their level of fault. For instance, if the jury awards $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you are at least 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.
There are two types of modified comparative fault rules. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from receiving damages when they are more than 50% at fault. It is a rule that is followed by several states, including Colorado and Utah. The other variant is called pure comparative fault, which permits victims to seek damages even if they are found to be 99 percent at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of instances, a person injured who is injured in a car crash may bring a lawsuit. However the lawsuits must be filed within the timeframe known as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim will be barred and forfeited forever.
The statute of limitation does not have anything to do with whether or whether an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the first incident that brought about the case, the incident or accident that caused the injury. Therefore, knowing exactly when the clock begins to tick is crucial for ensuring compliance with this important legal rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. In certain instances this time frame can be reduced. For instance, in situations where a minor is involved, the statute of limitations is paused until the child is legally emancipated after marriage or reaching age 18, which is usually two years after the accident. There are exceptions to this and experienced lawyers can assist with the specifics.
