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 on the basis of evidence presented to them.
To be held accountable for personal injury, the defendant has to be negligent during the incident. Liability is based on the degree to which the negligence caused the accident.
Liability
The goal of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to obtain compensation from the party who caused the injuries and losses caused through their negligence. If the injured party is not in one of the few states that operate under a no fault insurance system and a trucking accident lawsuit will require showing that the negligent act of a defendant or inaction resulted in 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 demonstrate the liability of their defendant on traditional tort liability principles and include a defendant's duty to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of that duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.
Additionally, a skilled lawyer can assist in determining the extent of liability in cases where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle could be the subject of a lawsuit as well. Most automobile insurance policies contain an affirmative provision of coverage for anyone who is operating the vehicle with owner's permission subject to certain exclusions. This analysis will include a review of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit needs to prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing a detailed account of expenses out of pocket as well as future losses that are likely to result from the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.
The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income as well as compensation for intangibles such as suffering and pain. It can be difficult to assign a precise dollar value to damages that are not economic such as mental anxiety and loss of enjoyment life.
Your attorney will assist in calculating your damages through the use of a variety of methods. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who analyze photos of the scene, police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to help reconstruct how the crash occurred.
Your lawyer will also strengthen your claim with expert opinion that outline the economic and non-economic impacts of your injuries. This includes estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections, and other financial factors. This is necessary in order to ensure that you're fully compensated for the loss you have incurred and will encounter in the near future.
Comparative Fault
In a car wreck, the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the injured party is accountable for. In many cases, it's an important issue that your lawyer must prove.
Most states use some form of a comparative fault rule, which permits victims to pursue compensation even if they share in the blame for an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to the degree of fault. For instance when a jury decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent at fault, you'd receive only $60,000.
There are two kinds of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out the injured party from receiving compensation if they're responsible for more than 50%. It is used by certain states, such as Colorado and Utah. The other variant is called pure comparative fault, which allows victims to seek damages even if found to be at fault.
Statute of limitations
In most cases, a person who is injured in a car accident is allowed to file a lawsuit against the party who caused the crash. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period, referred to as the statute of limitations, or the victim's legal claim is deemed to be void and barred for ever.
The statute of limitation does not have anything to do with whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It is all about the initial event that triggered the case, the incident or accident which caused the injury. Determining the exact time 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 bring personal injury lawsuits. In some cases this time frame can be shortened. For example, in cases where a minor motor vehicle accidents is involved, the time limit for a lawsuit is suspended until the child becomes emancipated by getting married or reaching age 18, which is usually two years following the accident. There are other exceptions, and an experienced attorney can give advice on the specifics.
