motor vehicle accident Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle crash cases, the plaintiff's damages award is reduced by their percentage of fault. The jury will make this decision on the basis of the evidence they receive.

To be held liable for personal injuries, the defendant has to be negligent during the incident. The amount of liability is determined by the degree of negligence which contributed to the accident.

Liability

The aim of a motor crash claim is to obtain compensation from the other party for damages and injuries caused through their negligence. Unless the victim is in one of the few states that operate under a no-fault insurance system and a trucking accident lawsuit will require showing that a defendant's careless actions or inaction caused a collision with an injury to the body.

An experienced attorney can help you determine if the driver at fault or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accident cases turn on a plaintiff's ability demonstrate the liability of their defendant on the principles of tort liability that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the defendant's breach of this duty, actual and proximate cause, and injuries.

A knowledgeable lawyer can assist you in determining liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle may be involved in an action. The majority of automobile insurance policies include an affirmative coverage to anyone driving the vehicle with owner's permission subject to certain exclusions. This may include a review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle accident vehicle lawsuit has to establish the amount of damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough information on the expenses out of pocket which are incurred, and also the future loss expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are referred to as non-economic and economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income while the latter is a way to compensate for more intangible issues like suffering and pain. It is difficult to establish a dollar amount on non-economic damages like mental distress and loss of enjoyment.

Your lawyer will help to calculate the damages you have suffered through a variety of ways. This includes retaining experts in accident reconstruction who will look at photos of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to understand the way in which the accident took place.

Your lawyer will also help your claim by soliciting expert opinions which outline the economic and noneconomic impacts of your injuries. This will include estimates of the cost for future care and support along with wage projections and other financial factors. These are necessary in order to ensure that you're 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 accountable for in a car accident. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney must prove.

Most states adopt some version of a a comparative blame rule, which allows victims to seek compensation even if they are a part of the blame for an accident. The amount of the settlement will be determined by the level of responsibility. For example when a jury gives you $100,000 for your injuries, but determines that you're 40% in the wrong, you'd be awarded only $60,000.

There are two types of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is known as the 50% bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from claiming damages when they are more than 50 percent at the fault. It is followed by some states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variation, known as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to recover damages if they are found to be 99 percent responsible.

Statute of limitations

In most cases, a person who is injured in a car crash is eligible to file a claim against the person who caused the crash. These lawsuits must, however, be filed within the statute of limitations or else the victim's claim will be barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to determine whether or not the insurer of the defendant will settle the case, and it is all about the initial triggering event in the case-the accident or incident which caused the injury. Calculating the exact time that the clock starts to tick is crucial to ensure respecting this important rule.

In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. In certain instances, this timeline can be shortened. For instance, in situations where a minor is involved the time limit for a lawsuit is suspended until the child is free by marrying or reaching age 18, which is usually two years after the accident. There are other exceptions and seasoned lawyers can assist with the specifics.
