A lawsuit is necessary when liability is in dispute. The defendant has the right to respond to the Complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that in the event that a jury finds that you are responsible for causing a crash the damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles rented or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed the duty of care towards them. Most people owe this duty to everyone else, but those who take the car have a greater obligation to others in their area of activity. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.
Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior to what a typical individual would do in similar circumstances to determine an acceptable standard of care. This is why expert witnesses are often required when cases involve medical malpractice. Experts who are knowledgeable in a particular field may also be held to a higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.
If a person violates their duty of care, it could cause damage to the victim as well as their property. The victim must show that the defendant violated their duty of care and caused the injury or damages they sustained. Proving causation is a critical aspect of any negligence claim, and it involves taking into consideration both the real cause of the injury or damages as well as the reason for the damage or injury.
If a person is stopped at an intersection then they are more likely to be hit by a car. If their car is damaged they'll be accountable for repairs. But the reason for the crash could be a cut from the brick, which then develops into a deadly infection.
Breach of Duty
The second element of negligence is the breach of duty committed by a defendant. It must be proven in order to be awarded compensation for a personal injury claim. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault person fall short of what an ordinary person would do under similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance is a professional with a range of professional duties towards his patients, which stem from the law of the state and licensing bodies. Motorists owe a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians to drive in a safe manner and adhere to traffic laws. If a driver violates this duty of care and creates an accident, he is responsible for the injuries sustained by the victim.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then demonstrate that the defendant failed to meet the standard in his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant met or did not meet the standard.
The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty of the defendant was the proximate cause of his or her injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant might have walked through a red light but that wasn't what caused the crash on your bicycle. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff has to establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffered 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 car, are not considered to be culpable and therefore do not affect the jury's determination of the liability.
It could be more difficult to establish a causal link between a negligent act and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. The fact that the plaintiff has a an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, used drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some impact on the severity of the psychological problems he or is suffering from following a crash, but the courts typically consider these factors as part of the circumstances that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.
If you've been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney. Arnold & Clifford LLP attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in motor vehicle accidents commercial and business litigation, and personal injury cases. Our lawyers have formed working relationships with independent physicians in a variety of specialties, as well as expert witnesses in computer simulations and accident reconstruction.
Damages
The damages that a plaintiff can recover in motor vehicle litigation include both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages comprises any financial costs that can be easily added to calculate an amount, like medical treatment or lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses, like diminished earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. However these damages must be proved to exist with the help of extensive evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, deposition testimony, and other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts will typically employ comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages to be split between them. The jury must determine the degree of fault each defendant was responsible for the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage of the fault. New York law however, doesn't allow this. 1602 does not exempt vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in the event of injuries caused by drivers of trucks or cars. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage is applicable is a bit nebulous and usually only a convincing evidence that the owner was explicitly was not granted permission to operate the car will overcome it.
