To be held accountable for an injury the defendant must be negligent at the time of the incident. Liability is determined by the extent to which negligence caused the accident.
Liability
The objective of a claim for motor vehicle accidents is to seek compensation from the other party for injuries and losses caused due to their negligence. Unless the injured person lives in one of the states that operate under a no fault insurance system the filing of an auto or trucking accident lawsuit must demonstrate that a defendant's careless actions or failure to act caused a collision and injuries to the body.
An experienced attorney can assist you in determining if the at-fault driver or another defendant is responsible for your losses. Most auto accident cases turn on a plaintiff's ability to demonstrate the liability of their defendant on the tort liability standard that include a defendant's responsibility to the plaintiff, the breach of the duty, causality that is actual and proximate, and injuries.
Additionally, a knowledgeable lawyer can assist you in determining liability in situations where the insured driver or the owner of the vehicle might be the subject of a lawsuit as well. Most insurance policies for automobiles offer coverage to anyone who operates the vehicle with the consent of the owner, with certain exceptions. This analysis includes a review of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit must prove the damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation of expenses out of pocket as well as the potential for future losses to arise from the injuries that were sustained. These are referred to as economic and non-economic damages.
The former is used to cover things like medical expenses and lost income, while the latter compensates for intangibles like pain and suffering. It is often difficult to assign an exact dollar value to damages that are not economic such as mental anxiety and loss of enjoyment life.
Your attorney will assist in the calculation of your damages through the use of a variety of methodologies. This could include retaining accident reconstruction experts who look over police reports, photos as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

This will include estimates of future healthcare and support costs, wage projections and other financial considerations.

Comparative Fault
In a car wreck, the system known as comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame the injured party is accountable for. In many instances, it's a crucial issue that your lawyer will need to prove.
The majority of states have some kind of a comparative fault law that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of blame is an accident. The amount of the settlement will be based on their degree of fault. So, for example when a jury will award you $100,000 for injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent at fault, you will only receive $60,000.
There are two kinds of modified comparative-fault rules. The first is referred to as the 50 bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from receiving damages if they are more than 50 percent at fault. Colorado and Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other type, known as pure comparative negligence, permits victims to claim damages if they are found to be 99 per cent at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In most cases, a person who is injured in a car accident is entitled to file a lawsuit against the person responsible for the crash. However, these lawsuits must, be filed within a certain timeframe of limitations or else the victim's claim will be forever barred.
The statute of limitation does not affect whether or not an insurance company for the defendant will settle the case. It is focused on the primary incident that brought about the case, whether it was an incident or accident which caused the injury. So, knowing exactly when the clock starts to tick is vital for making sure that you are in compliance with this crucial legal rule.
