This rule is not applicable to owners of vehicles that are rented or leased out to minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence case, the plaintiff must show that the defendant had an obligation of care to them.

This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.
Courtrooms assess an individual's actions to what a typical person would do in similar conditions to determine an acceptable standard of care. In the event of medical malpractice expert witnesses are typically required.

A breach of a person's obligation of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim then has to prove that the defendant acted in breach of their duty and caused the harm or damages they sustained. Proving causation is a critical aspect of any negligence claim which involves taking into consideration both the real causes of the injury damages as well as the cause of the damage or injury.

Breach of Duty
A breach of duty by a defendant 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 is when the actions taken by the person at fault do not match what a normal person would do in similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance, is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients based on state law and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to take care of other drivers and pedestrians, and respect traffic laws. If a driver violates this duty and results in an accident is responsible for the victim's injuries.
Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of the duty of care and then demonstrate that the defendant did not comply with the standard in his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant was in compliance with the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also demonstrate that the defendant's negligence was the main cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant might have walked through a red light, but that wasn't what caused your bicycle accident. Causation is often contested in crash cases by defendants.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and his or her injuries. For example, if the plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of a rear-end collision, his or her lawyer will claim that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are necessary for the collision to occur, like being in a stationary car, are not culpable and will not affect the jury's decision of the liability.
For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and an injured plaintiff's symptoms could be more difficult to establish. It could be because the plaintiff has a turbulent background, a strained relationship with their parents, or has used drugs or alcohol.

New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages, including suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. The damages must be proven through extensive evidence such as depositions from family members and friends of the plaintiff medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts will typically apply the rules of comparative fault to determine the amount of damages that must be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine the amount of fault each defendant was responsible for the accident and to then divide the total damages award by that percentage of blame. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries suffered by driver of the vehicles. The process to determine if the presumption is permissive is complicated. Typically the only way to prove that the owner did not grant permission to the driver to operate the vehicle can overcome the presumption.
