Motor Vehicle Litigation

When a claim for liability is litigated, it becomes necessary to bring a lawsuit. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules which means that in the event that a jury finds you to be at fault for causing the accident the damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is an exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles rented or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a case of negligence the plaintiff must prove that the defendant had a duty of care towards them. This duty is owed by everyone, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even higher duty to other people in their field. This includes not causing motor vehicle accidents.

Courtrooms compare an individual's actions with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances to determine a reasonable standard of care. In the event of medical malpractice, expert witnesses are usually required. People who have superior knowledge in a particular field can be held to an even higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A breach of a person's duty of care can cause harm to a victim, or their property. The victim must prove that the defendant breached their duty and caused the injury or damage they sustained. Causation proof is a crucial aspect of any negligence case, and it involves investigating both the primary causes of the injury damages as well as the proximate reason for the injury or damage.

If a driver is caught running an intersection, they are likely to be struck by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for the repairs. But the actual cause of the crash could be a cut from bricks that later develop into a deadly infection.

Breach of Duty

The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty by a defendant. This must be proven in order to receive compensation for a personal injury claim. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of a party who is at fault fall short of what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.

For example, a doctor is required to perform a number of professional duties for his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers have a duty to take care of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to obey traffic laws. Drivers who violate this obligation and creates an accident is accountable for the victim's injuries.

A lawyer can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of an obligation of care. The lawyer must then demonstrate that the defendant did not comply with the standard in his actions. The jury will determine if the defendant met or did not meet the standard.

The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach of duty was the primary cause of his or her injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. A defendant could have run through a red light, however, that's not the reason for the accident on your bicycle. For this reason, causation is often contested by defendants in collision cases.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases the plaintiff must prove a causal link between breach of the defendant and the injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff sustained a neck injury from a rear-end collision and his or her lawyer might argue that the accident caused the injury. Other elements that are required in causing the collision like being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable and will not affect the jury's determination of liability.

For psychological injuries However, the connection between negligence and the injured plaintiff's symptoms could be more difficult to establish. It could be the case that the plaintiff has a turbulent past, has a bad relationship with their parents, or has abused drugs or alcohol.

Damages

In motor vehicle litigation, a person can seek both economic and noneconomic damages. The first type of damages covers all monetary costs which can easily be added up and calculated as the total amount, which includes medical treatments and lost wages, repairs to property, and even financial loss, like diminished earning capacity.

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages such as suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment, cannot be reduced to cash. The damages must be proven with a large amount of evidence, such as depositions from family members and friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts often use comparative fault rules to determine the amount of total damages that should be divided between them. This requires the jury to determine how much fault each defendant was responsible for the incident and then divide the total damages award by that percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow for this. 1602 specifically exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries suffered by driver of these trucks and cars. The analysis to determine whether the presumption of permissiveness is complicated. In general it is only a clear evidence that the owner denied permission for the driver to operate the vehicle can overrule the presumption.
