Motor Vehicle Litigation

In most motor vehicle crash lawsuits, the plaintiff's damages are lowered by their percentage fault. This is determined by the jury based on evidence presented to them.

To be liable for a personal injury the defendant must be negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined based on the extent of negligence that led to the incident.

Liability

The goal of a motor crash claim is to seek compensation from the other party in exchange for losses and injuries caused due to their negligence. A lawsuit for a car or trucking crash will require that the victim's claim be proven that the negligent actions of the defendant or failure to act led to a collision, and the resulting bodily injury.

An experienced attorney can help you determine whether the driver who caused the accident or any other defendant is accountable for your losses. Most auto accidents cases rely on a plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on the principles of tort liability which include a defendant's obligation to the plaintiff, the breach by the defendant of that duty, real and proximate causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can also assist in determining liability in cases in which the insured driver or owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. The majority of insurance policies for automobiles include an affirmative provision of coverage to anyone driving the vehicle with owner's permission with certain limitations. This usually involves analyzing CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit will prove the 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 due to the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things such as medical expenses and lost income, while the latter is a way to compensate for things that are more intangible like suffering and pain. It is often difficult to determine a specific dollar value to non-economic damages such as mental anguish and loss of enjoyment life.

Your attorney will help you calculate your damages using a variety of methods. This may include retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will analyze photos, police reports as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

Your attorney will also support your claim by getting expert opinions that detail the economic and noneconomic implications of your injuries. This includes estimates of future care and support costs, wage projections and other financial aspects. They are required to ensure that you are fully compensated for losses you've incurred and encounter in the near future.

Comparative Fault

A system known as comparative fault or contributory negligence - defines how much fault an injured party can be held responsible for in a car accident. In many instances, it's a crucial aspect that your lawyer must prove.

Most states use some form of a comparative fault rule, which allows victims to claim compensation even if they are a part of the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by their level of fault. For instance the case where a judge decides to award you $100,000 for your injuries, but finds that you're 40 percent at fault, you will receive only $60,000.

There are two types of modified comparative fault rules. The second is known as the 50 bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from claiming damages when they are more 50 percent at the fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other type is pure comparative fault. This allows victims to claim damages even if found to be at fault.

Statute of limitations

In most instances, a person who is injured in a car accident is entitled to file a lawsuit against the person who caused the accident. However, these lawsuits must be filed within a certain timeframe known as the statute of limitations, or the claim of the victim is deemed to be void and barred forever.

The statute of limitations has nothing to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle it, and has it is all about the trigger event that started the case-the incident or accident that led to the injury. Determining the exact time the clock starts to tick is crucial to ensure compliance with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up-to three years to make a personal injury claim. In some instances the timeframe can be reduced. For instance, in cases where a minor is involved the statute of limitations is suspended until the child becomes fully emancipated through marriage or reaching age 18, which is usually two years after the incident. There are other exceptions, and experienced attorneys can help you understand the particulars.
