Motor Vehicle Litigation
In the majority of motor vehicle collision cases, the plaintiff's award is reduced by their percentage of fault. This is determined by the jury based on the evidence presented to them.
In order to be held liable for a personal injury, the defendant has to be negligent during the incident. Liability is determined by the extent of negligence that led to the accident.
Liability
The aim of a motor accident claim is to recover damages for damages and injuries caused by another party's negligence. A lawsuit arising out of an auto or trucking crash requires that the victim of the accident prove that the negligent actions of the defendant or inaction led to a collision, and the resulting bodily injury.
An experienced lawyer can assist you in determining if the at-fault driver or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases are based on a plaintiff's ability to establish the liability of their defendant based on the tort liability standard, including a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of this duty, the actual and proximate causation, and injuries.
A skilled lawyer can assist in determining liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle could be involved in lawsuits as well. The majority of automobile insurance policies provide coverage to anyone who operates the vehicle with the consent of the owner, with certain exceptions. This usually includes a look at CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must establish damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed documentation of the out-of-pocket expenses that were incurred as well as future losses expected to arise as a result of the injuries that were sustained. These are referred to as non-economic and economic damages.
The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income while the latter is compensation for things that are more intangible like pain and suffering. It can be difficult to determine a specific dollar value to damages that are not economic such as mental anguish and the loss of enjoyment life.
Your lawyer will assist you in formulating your damages with the use of a range of techniques. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who review photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to understand how the accident occurred.
Your lawyer will also support your case with expert opinions that outline the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. These will include estimates of future medical and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. These are crucial in order to ensure you're completely compensated for any losses you've suffered and will continue to experience in the near future.
Comparative Fault
A system called comparative fault - also known as contributory negligence, determines how much fault an injured party can be held responsible for a car crash. This is a major issue in a lot of cases and something your lawyer may be required to prove.
Most states have some form of comparative fault rule which allows victims to be compensated even if their share of the blame is for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on the degree of fault. For instance the case where a judge decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries but finds you are 40 percent in the wrong, you'd receive only $60,000.
There are actually two different kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This rule prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50%. It is followed by a few states, including Colorado and Utah. The other type is pure comparative fault, which permits victims to claim damages even if they are found to be 99 % at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of cases, a person is injured in a car accident is legally entitled to file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident. However the lawsuits must be filed within a specific time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred forever.
The statute of limitations does not have anything to be concerned with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case, and it is all about the triggering event that initiated the case-the incident or accident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock begins to tick is crucial for respecting this important rule.
In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to file personal injury lawsuits. This time frame can be reduced in certain circumstances, however. In the event that a child is involved, for instance the statute is put on hold until the child becomes legally emancipated. This can be attained by marriage or when they reach the age of 18, typically two years after the accident. There are also exceptions and experienced lawyers can assist with the specifics.
