Motor Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is necessary when liability is in dispute. The defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that when a jury finds you to be the cause of the accident the damages awarded to you will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. There is an exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles which are rented or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a lawsuit for negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. This duty is due to everyone, but those who operate a vehicle have an even higher duty to other people in their field. This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.
In courtrooms, the standard of care is determined by comparing an individual's behavior with what a normal person would do in the same situations. This is why expert witnesses are frequently required in cases involving medical negligence. People with superior knowledge in a certain field may be held to a greater standard of medical care.
If a person violates their duty of care, they could cause harm to the victim and/or their property. The victim then has to prove that the defendant acted in breach of their duty of care and caused the injury or damage that they suffered. Causation is a key element of any negligence claim. It involves proving both the primary and secondary causes of the damage and injury.
If a person is stopped at an intersection and fails to obey the stop sign, they could be struck by another vehicle. If their car is damaged, they will be required to pay for repairs. The reason for the accident could be a cut from the brick, which then develops into a dangerous infection.
Breach of Duty
The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty by an individual defendant. It must be proven in order to receive compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty happens when the at-fault party's actions fall short of what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.
For example, a doctor has several professional duties to his patients that are governed by the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers have a duty to be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians, and to obey traffic laws. When a driver breaches this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is liable for the injuries suffered by the victim.
A lawyer may use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of a duty of care and then show that the defendant failed to satisfy the standard through his actions. The jury will decide if the defendant complied with or did not meet the standards.
The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach of duty was the proximate cause of the injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. A defendant may have run through a red light but that's not the cause of the accident on your bicycle. This is why causation is often challenged by defendants in crash cases.
Causation
In motor vehicle-related cases, the plaintiff must establish a causal link between the breach by the defendant and their injuries. If the plaintiff sustained neck injuries in an accident with rear-end damage and his or her attorney would argue that the accident was the cause of the injury. Other elements that are required to cause the collision, like being in a stationary car, are not culpable and will not affect the jury's decision of liability.
It may be harder to prove a causal link between a negligent act and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. It may be because the plaintiff has a turbulent past, has a bad relationship with their parents, or has used drugs or alcohol.

Damages
In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff could recover both economic and noneconomic damages. The first category of damages encompasses all monetary costs which are easily added together and summed up into a total, such as medical treatments or lost wages, repair to property, and even future financial loss, such a diminished earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to recover non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. However the damages must be proven to exist with the help of extensive evidence, including deposition testimony of the plaintiff's close family members and friends medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.
In the event of multiple defendants, courts will often use comparative fault rules to determine the amount of damages that should be divided between them. The jury must decide the percentage of fault each defendant has for the accident and then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage. New York law however, does not permit this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries sustained by the driver of these trucks and cars. The subsequent analysis of whether the presumption of permissiveness is applicable is a bit nebulous and typically only a clear evidence that the owner specifically was not granted permission to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome it.
