motor vehicle accident lawsuit Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is necessary when the liability is being contested. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that should a jury find you to be at fault for causing a crash, your damages award will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are rented or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a negligence case the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. This duty is owed to everyone, but people who operate a vehicle have an even greater obligation to other people in their field. This includes ensuring that they don't cause motor vehicle accidents.
In courtrooms the standard of care is established by comparing an individual's conduct with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances. In cases of medical malpractice experts are often required. People with superior knowledge in a certain field may be held to a higher standard of treatment.
A breach of a person's obligation of care can cause harm to a victim or their property. The victim must prove that the defendant breached their obligation and caused the damage or damages they suffered. The proof of causation is an essential aspect of any negligence claim and requires considering both the actual basis of the injury or damages and the proximate reason for the damage or injury.
For example, if someone is stopped at a red light and is stopped, they'll be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll need to pay for repairs. But the actual cause of the crash could be a cut on the brick, which then develops into a deadly infection.
Breach of Duty
The second element of negligence is the breach of duty by an individual defendant. The breach of duty must be proved in order to be awarded compensation for personal injury claims. A breach of duty is when the actions taken by the at-fault party do not match what a normal person would do under similar circumstances.
For instance, a physician has several professional duties to his patients based on laws of the state and licensing boards. Motorists have a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians on the road to drive safely and observe traffic laws. When a driver breaches this duty of care and results in an accident, the driver is liable for the victim's injuries.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of the duty of care and then prove that the defendant failed to meet that standard in his actions. It is a question of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant complied with the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also establish that the defendant's breach of duty was the proximate cause of his or her injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. For instance, a defendant may have crossed a red line, however, the act was not the sole reason for your bicycle crash. This is why causation is frequently disputed by the defendants in cases of crash.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the defendant's breach of duty and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends and his or her lawyer could argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other factors that are necessary for the collision to occur, like being in a stationary car, are not culpable and do not affect the jury's determination of the liability.
For psychological injuries, however, the link between a negligent act and the injured plaintiff's symptoms could be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff suffered from a an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with his or her parents, experimented with drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological issues is suffering from following an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as an element of the background conditions from which the plaintiff's accident was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

Damages
In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff could seek both economic and noneconomic damages. The first type of damages covers all financial costs that can be easily added together and then calculated into the total amount, which includes medical treatment as well as lost wages, repairs to property, and even financial loss, such loss of earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a dollar amount. However, these damages must be proved to exist using extensive evidence, such as deposition testimony from plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use the rules of comparative negligence to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be split between them. The jury must determine the proportion of fault each defendant is accountable for the accident and then divide the total amount of damages awarded by that percentage. However, New York law 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are sustained by drivers of trucks or cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption that permissive use applies is complicated, and typically only a convincing evidence that the owner explicitly did not have permission to operate his vehicle will overcome it.
