Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle accident cases, the plaintiff's damages award is reduced by their percentage of the fault. The jury will decide this in accordance with the evidence they are presented with.

To be held accountable for a personal injury the defendant must have been negligent in the incident. Liability is based on the extent to which negligence caused the accident.

Liability

The goal of a motor vehicle accident claim is to collect damages from the party who caused the injuries and losses caused by their negligence. Unless the injured victim lives in one of the states that operate under a no-fault insurance program and a trucking accident lawsuit must demonstrate that the negligent act of a defendant or failure to act resulted in a collision, and injuries to the body.

An experienced lawyer can help you determine the fault of the driver or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto accident cases rest on the plaintiff's ability prove the defendant's guilt by relying on tort liability rules. This includes a defendant's duty to the victim, a defendant's breach of this duty, actual and direct causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in analyzing liability in situations in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles provide an affirmative guarantee of coverage for anyone who is operating the vehicle under the owner's permission, subject to certain exclusions. This may include a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough documentation on out-of pocket expenses that are incurred, as well as the future loss anticipated due to the injuries suffered. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical bills and lost income. The latter is compensation for more intangible things like pain and suffering. Sometimes, it is difficult to assign an exact value to non-economic losses such as mental anguish and loss of enjoyment life.

Your lawyer will help you calculate your damages with a variety of methods. This includes hiring experts in reconstruction of accidents who examine photographs of the scene, police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to determine how the crash occurred.

Your lawyer will also help your claim by getting expert opinions that detail the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. This will include estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections, and other financial aspects. These are necessary to ensure you are fully compensated for the losses you've suffered and will suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault, also referred to as contributory negligence - defines the amount of fault an injured party can be held responsible for a car crash. It's a crucial issue in a variety of cases and something your attorney may have to prove.

Most states implement some version of a a comparative blame rule that allows victims to claim compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. The amount of compensation will be determined by their level of responsibility. If, for instance, a jury awards $100,000 for your injuries, and then determines that you're at 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.

However, the law is much more complex than that, because there are two distinct types of modified rules of comparative fault. The one is known as the 50% bar rule, which blocks an injured party from claiming damages in cases where they are more than 50 percent at the fault. It is a rule that is followed by several states, including Colorado and Utah. The other type is pure comparative fault. This allows victims to seek damages even if found to be at fault.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of cases, a person who is injured in a car crash is allowed to file a lawsuit against the person responsible for the accident. However these lawsuits must be filed within a certain timeframe known as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim will be forfeited and barred for ever.

The statute of limitation has nothing to do whether or whether an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the initial event that triggered the case, and the incident or accident which caused the injury. Knowing the exact moment at which the clock begins to tick is crucial for complying with this important rule.

In New York, people who are injured in car crashes generally have three years to make personal injury lawsuits. This timeline may be shortened in some circumstances, however. In the event that a child is involved, as in the statute is stopped until that child is legally emancipated. This can be attained by marriage or when they reach the age of 18 typically two years after the accident. There are other circumstances, and a seasoned attorney can offer advice on the particulars.
