motor vehicle accident lawsuits Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle collision lawsuits, the plaintiff's damages are lowered based on their percentage of fault. The jury will determine this according to the evidence they are presented.

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

Liability

The goal of a motor vehicle accident claim is to collect damages for the damage and losses caused by the negligence of a third party. Unless the injured person lives in one of the states that operate under a no fault insurance system, an automobile or trucking accident lawsuit will require showing that the negligence of a defendant or failure to act resulted in a collision, and injuries to the body.

An experienced attorney can help you determine the fault of the driver or another defendant is responsible for your losses. The majority of auto accidents cases depend on the plaintiff's ability to prove the defendant's fault in accordance with tort liability principles. This includes a defendant’s obligation to the victim, the defendant’s violation of this duty direct and immediate causation as well as injuries.

A competent lawyer can help analyze liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle is involved in a lawsuit. Most insurance policies for automobiles offer coverage to anyone who operates the vehicle with the consent of the owner, subject to certain exceptions. This analysis consists of a thorough review of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must prove the damages suffered by a plaintiff. This is usually done by providing detailed information on the expenses out of pocket and the future loss expected as a result of the injuries suffered. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost earnings, while the latter is compensation for more intangible things like pain and suffering. It is difficult to put an amount of money on the non-economic damage, such as mental suffering and loss of enjoyment in life.

Your lawyer will help to calculate the damages you have suffered with a variety of methods. This includes hiring accident reconstruction experts who will look at photographs of the scene police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to understand how the accident occurred.

Your lawyer will also support your claim by providing expert opinions detailing the economic and non-economic consequences of your injuries. This will include cost estimates for care and support in the future, wage projections and other financial factors. These are vital in order to ensure you're fully compensated for any loss you've suffered and continue to experience in the near future.

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault - or contributory negligence determines how much fault an injured person could be accountable for in a car accident. In many cases, it's an important issue that your attorney must prove.

Many states have a type of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of the blame lies with an accident. However, the amount of their settlement will be reduced according to their level of fault. For instance, if an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, and then determines that you are at least 40 percent at fault, you'll only receive $60,000.

But the law is more complicated than that, since there are two distinct types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50 bar rule. This rule prevents an injured party from receiving compensation if they are responsible for more than 50 percent. Colorado and Utah are two states that are governed by this rule. The other type, known as pure comparative negligence, allows victims to recover damages if they're found to be 99% responsible.

Statute of limitations

In the majority of cases, an injured person involved in a car accident may bring a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must, be filed within a certain timeframe of limitations or the claim of the victim is forever barred.

The statute of limitations has nothing to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case, and everything to do with the trigger event that started the case-the accident or incident which caused the injury. Determining the exact time the clock begins to tick is crucial for complying with this important rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents can have up to three years to make a personal injury claim. This time frame can be reduced in certain situations, however. In cases where a child is involved, such as, the statute is paused until the child becomes emancipated, which can be achieved by marriage or at the age of 18 usually two years after the accident. There are exceptions to this, and experienced attorneys can provide advice on the specifics.
