Motor Vehicle Litigation
If the liability is challenged then it is necessary to make a complaint. The Defendant will then have the opportunity to respond to the complaint.
New York follows pure comparative fault rules and, if the jury finds you responsible for the accident the damages awarded will be reduced by your percentage of negligence. There is one exception to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are hired or leased by minors.
Duty of Care
In a case of negligence, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed an obligation of care to them. This duty is owed by all, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even higher duty to others in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause motor vehicle accidents.
Courtrooms compare an individual's actions to what a typical individual would do in similar conditions to determine reasonable standards of care. In cases of medical malpractice, expert witnesses are usually required. Experts who have a greater understanding of a certain field may be held to a greater standard of medical care.
If someone violates their duty of care, it may cause damage to the victim as well as their property. The victim is then required to establish that the defendant's breach of duty caused the damage and injury they sustained. Causation proof is a crucial element in any negligence case and requires taking into consideration both the real reason for the injury or damages and the proximate cause of the damage or injury.
For instance, if someone runs a red stop sign then it's likely that they'll be struck by another car. If their car is damaged, they will need to pay for repairs. The actual cause of a crash could be caused by a fracture in the brick that leads to an infection.
Breach of Duty
The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty by the defendant. This must be proved in order to obtain compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty occurs when the actions of the party at fault are not in line with what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.
For vimeo instance, a doctor is a professional with a range of professional obligations to his patients that are derived from state law and licensing bodies. Motorists are required to show care to other motorists and pedestrians on the road to drive safely and obey traffic laws. If a driver fails to comply with this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is liable for the injuries sustained by the victim.
Lawyers can rely on the "reasonable person" standard to prove the existence of the duty of care, and then prove that the defendant did not comply with the standard in his actions. It is a matter of fact for the jury to decide whether the defendant fulfilled the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant's breach was the direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. For instance an individual defendant could have run a red light however, the act was not the primary reason for your bicycle crash. For this reason, the causation issue is often contested by the defendants in cases of crash.
Causation
In motor vehicle cases, the plaintiff must establish an causal link between defendant's breach and their injuries. If a plaintiff suffered a neck injury in an accident with rear-end damage, his or her attorney would argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other factors that are necessary to cause the collision, such as being in a stationary car are not considered to be culpable and will not influence the jury's determination of the cause of the accident.
For psychological injuries However, the connection between an act of negligence and an injured plaintiff's symptoms may be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff had an unhappy childhood, a poor relationship with his or her parents, experimented with alcohol and drugs, or suffered previous unemployment may have some impact on the severity of the psychological issues he or is suffering from following a crash, but the courts typically consider these factors as part of the context that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.

Damages
In motor vehicle litigation, a plaintiff can get both economic and non-economic damages. The first category of damages includes any monetary costs that can easily be added up and calculated as an amount, like medical treatment, lost wages, property repair, and even future financial losses, like diminished earning capacity.
New York law recognizes that non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment can't be reduced to money. However the damages must be proved to exist by a variety of evidence, including deposition testimony from the plaintiff's family members and close friends medical records, other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine how much of the damages awarded should be divided between them. The jury must decide the proportion of fault each defendant is accountable for the incident and then divide the total damages awarded by the same percentage. New York law however, does not permit this. 1602 does not exempt vehicle owners from the rule of comparative negligence in cases where injuries are sustained by the drivers of trucks or cars. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage is applicable is a bit nebulous, and typically only a clear proof that the owner specifically refused permission to operate the car will overcome it.
