While the majority of cases are subject to common law principles however, there are a few issues which are unique to this field.

According to New York law, vehicle owners are responsible for accidents that occur while their vehicles were operating with their explicit or implied consent. Our legal team is able to handle these cases on a contingent fee basis.

Eyewitness Testimony

Eyewitness testimony is a valuable addition to other evidence related to motor vehicle cases. This type of testimony typically assists in identifying the criminal or provide specifics about how the crash occurred. However there is a huge amount of evidence that suggests eyewitness identifications can be highly inaccurate.

Witnesses, for instance, are susceptible to making errors in recollecting the color of an object or its shape. In addition perceptual distortions such as fading memories can alter a witness's memory of an incident.

In addition, the memory of witnesses may be distorted by leading questions or other information given to witnesses. Researchers found that in one study where participants were instructed to estimate the speed of a car influenced their responses. Other factors that influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimonies include age levels, attention, skill, stress, health conditions and prejudice.

Although many experts will insist on the reliability of eyewitness testimony, it's crucial to educate jurors and law enforcement agencies members about the possibility of errors. In some cases, incorrect eyewitness testimony has led to for wrongful convictions and even murder. In 2018, the Innocence Project proved that the fingerprints found on a coffee cup, which a witness used to identify a suspect in a burglary, were not the signatures of Royal Clark's.

Vehicle Inspection

As a general rule, vehicle inspections must take place every year. Some vehicles, such as those that are privately owned or with inspection stickers that are expired, may require periodic inspections. In certain circumstances, such as when a New York resident moves and must update their address, it's mandatory that the vehicle be examined prior to the issuance of new stickers.

The inspector will verify a few specifics including the make and model of the vehicle, its registration date, odometer reading and so on. They then look over the vehicle, starting with the most obvious areas such as the mirrors, the windshields, the lights and horn. There are various checklists that ensure that a thorough inspection has been conducted, which includes inspecting things such as rust and suspension components.

Drivers are expected to remain vigilant on the road and to keep an eye out for pedestrians, other drivers and other potential dangers. Inability to do this could be considered negligence. A driver must also be in control at all times. A vehicle with a defect could cause the vehicle to lose control, resulting in serious injuries. It is also possible that the manufacturer of the vehicle could be held liable under the law of product liability in the event of an accident caused by an issue with the vehicle or the components of it.

Parts or Components that are Defective

In order for a vehicle to function effectively, thousands of tiny mechanical and electrical components must work together. If one of these parts is damaged, the result can be devastating. These accidents are often due to manufacturing errors or other issues with the design or construction an element. When a malfunctioning car part is the reason for an accident, the responsible party is likely to be responsible for paying the victims of the crash for their injuries.

Many people believe that the majority of accidents involving cars are caused by human error. While the majority of car accidents are caused by driver errors however, there are other elements that can trigger a crash such as road conditions and defective auto parts.

Defective components of a car include brakes, seatbelts and tires, airbags or any other part that fails to function according to the specifications and cause an accident. Sometimes, these problems are the result of aftermarket upgrades that weren't designed with the same attention to detail as the original parts on a vehicle. Other times, the defect could be in the original design of a specific component.

Manufacturers are required to produce vehicles that meet minimum safety standards. If the vehicle, or any of its components, was not built or designed to meet these standards, then the manufacturer could be held accountable for any damage resulting from an accident caused by a defective part.

Insurance Coverage

Most states use a tort liability system that obliges drivers to carry insurance in the event their actions or negligence causes injury to another. Liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage liability.

The bodily injury liability covers medical expenses and the medical expenses of anyone else injured by your vehicle in an accident, up to the limit of your policy. Typically there is a separate limit per person injured and a unified limit for the total amount of property damage. Some insurers offer optional policies with higher limits for these types of damages.

Property damage insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged by an event other than collision with a vehicle or object, like windstorm, fire, theft and the impact of a deer. It can also cover damage to your car caused by driving on potholes. This type of insurance is mandatory in New York and some other states.

In many states the uninsured or underinsured driver insurance (UM/UIM) is required. However, some states only require it when the driver at fault is not covered by insurance. This coverage reimburses you or your passengers for your medical and property damages when the driver at fault has no insurance, is uninsured or involved in a hit-and-run accident.
