Motor Vehicle Litigation

In the majority of motor vehicle accident lawsuits (http://www.gawonsilver.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=carte&wr_id=109021) vehicle crash cases, the plaintiff's damages are reduced by the percentage of fault. The jury will decide this in accordance with the evidence they are presented.

In order to be held liable for personal injury, the defendant has to have been negligent in the incident. Liability is determined by the extent of negligence that led to the incident.

Liability

The goal of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to seek compensation from the other party for losses and injuries caused through their negligence. A lawsuit for an automobile or trucking accident will require that the injured party prove that the negligent actions of the defendant or failure to act caused a collision and the bodily injuries that resulted.

An experienced attorney can assist you in determining whether the at-fault driver or any other defendant is accountable for your losses.

This includes a defendant's duty to the victim, the defendant’s failure to fulfill this duty, direct and real causation and injuries.

A skilled lawyer can assist in determining liability in situations where the insured driver or owner of the vehicle could be the subject of a lawsuit as well. Most automobile insurance policies grant coverage to anyone who operates the vehicle with the approval of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis also includes a look at of CPLR SS 1602.

Damages

A successful motor vehicle lawsuit has to prove the damages suffered by a plaintiff. This is typically accomplished by providing comprehensive evidence of the expenses incurred, as well as the loss that is anticipated due to the injuries sustained. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.

The former covers things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter pays for intangibles such suffering and pain. Oftentimes, it can be difficult to determine an exact dollar value to damages that are not economic like mental distress and the loss of enjoyment life.

Your attorney will assist you in calculating your damages through the use of a variety of methods. This includes retaining experts in reconstruction of accidents who review photos of the scene, police reports, witness testimony and other evidence to reconstruct how the accident occurred.

Your lawyer will also help your claim by soliciting expert opinions which outline the economic and noneconomic implications of your injuries. This will include cost estimates for future care and assistance, wage projections and other financial considerations. They are crucial to ensure that you are fully compensated for any losses you've suffered and will continue to suffer in the future.

Comparative Fault

A system referred to as comparative fault or contributory negligence determines the extent to which an injured person can be accountable for in a car accident. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your lawyer will have to prove.

Most states have some form of a comparative fault system that allows victims to be compensated even if their share of blame is an accident. However, the amount they receive in settlement will be lowered by their level of fault. So, for example, if a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent at fault, you will be awarded only $60,000.

There are actually two different types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is referred to as the 50% bar rule, which bars an injured party from receiving damages in cases where they are more than 50% at fault. It is a rule that is followed by some states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variant is pure comparative fault. It allows victims to seek damages even if they are found to be 99 % at fault.

Statute of Limitations

In most instances, an individual who has been injured involved in a car accident may bring a lawsuit. However these lawsuits must be filed within the time frame, known as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim is forfeited and barred forever.

The statute of limitations does not have anything to do with 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 incident or accident which caused the injury. So, knowing exactly when the clock will begin to tick is essential for the proper application of this important legal rule.

In New York, those injured in car accidents have up to three years to make a personal injury claim. This time frame can be reduced in some circumstances, however. For example, in cases where minors are involved, the limitation period is paused until the child becomes emancipated by getting married or reaching age 18, which typically takes two years after the date of the accident. There are other exceptions and seasoned lawyers can help you understand the particulars.
