Hyattsville motor vehicle accident Lawsuit Vehicle Litigation
A lawsuit is required when liability is in dispute. The defendant has the option to respond to the complaint.
New York has a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that if a jury finds you to be at fault for an accident the amount of damages you will be reduced according to your percentage of fault. There is a caveat to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes owners of vehicles that are rented or leased to minors.
Duty of Care
In a lawsuit for negligence the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to exercise reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, however those who sit behind the driving wheel of a motorized vehicle have a greater obligation to other people in their field of activity. This includes not causing accidents in motor vehicles.
Courtrooms evaluate an individual's behavior with what a normal person would do under similar circumstances to determine an acceptable standard of care. In the case of medical malpractice expert witnesses are typically required. Experts with a higher level of expertise of a specific area may be held to a higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.
If someone violates their duty of care, it may cause injury to the victim or their property. The victim has to demonstrate that the defendant did not fulfill their duty and caused the harm or damages they sustained. Causation is an important part of any negligence claim. It requires proving both the primary and secondary causes of the damage and injury.
For example, if someone is stopped at a red light there is a good chance that they'll be hit by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they'll be responsible for the repairs. The cause of a crash could be a brick cut that causes an infection.
Breach of Duty
The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty committed by a defendant. This must be proved in order to be awarded compensation in a personal injury case. A breach of duty is when the actions of the at-fault party do not match what an ordinary person would do in similar circumstances.
A doctor, for instance is a professional with a range of professional obligations towards his patients. These professional obligations stem from state law and licensing bodies. Drivers have a duty to be considerate of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to adhere to traffic laws. If a motorist violates this obligation of care and creates an accident, he is liable for the injury suffered by the victim.
A lawyer can use "reasonable individuals" standard to show that there is a duty of prudence and then show that defendant failed to meet this standard with his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide if the defendant met the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also establish that the defendant's breach of duty was the primary cause for his or her injuries. This is sometimes more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty or breach. For instance, a defendant may have crossed a red line, however, the act was not the primary reason for your bicycle crash. Because of this, causation is often con can easily be added up and calculated as an overall amount, including medical treatment or lost wages, repair to property, and even the possibility of future financial losses, such as the loss of earning capacity.
New York law also recognizes the right to seek non-economic damages, including pain and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment of life which cannot be reduced to a monetary amount. These damages must be proved by a wide array of evidence, including depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.
In cases where there are multiple defendants, courts typically apply the rules of comparative fault to determine the amount of total damages to be split between them. This requires the jury to determine how much responsibility each defendant incurred in the accident, and then divide the total damages awarded by that percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule when it comes to injuries sustained by drivers of the vehicles. The resulting analysis of whether the presumption of permissive usage applies is complex and usually only a convincing evidence that the owner was explicitly was not granted permission to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome it.
