When a claim for liability is litigated and the liability is disputed, it is necessary to make a complaint. The defendant has the right to respond to the Complaint.

New York follows pure comparative fault rules, which means that if the jury finds that you are responsible for causing the accident the damages awarded to you will be reduced by the percentage of negligence. There is a caveat to this rule: CPLR SS 1602 excludes the owners of vehicles that are hired or leased by minors.

Duty of Care

In a negligence case the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant was obligated to exercise reasonable care. Almost everybody owes this duty to everyone else, however those who take the wheel of a motor vehicle have a higher obligation to the other drivers in their zone of operation. This includes ensuring that they do not cause car accidents.

Courtrooms examine an individual's conduct with what a normal person would do in similar circumstances to establish what is a reasonable standard of care. In the event of medical malpractice experts are often required. People who have superior knowledge in a particular field can also be held to a higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

A breach of a person's duty of care could cause injury to a victim or their property. The victim is then required to prove that the defendant breached their duty of care and caused the injury or damage they sustained. Causation is an important part of any negligence claim. It involves proving the proximate and actual causes of the damages and injuries.

Breach of Duty

The second aspect of negligence is the breach of duty by the defendant. This must be proven in order to obtain compensation for a personal injury claim. A breach of duty happens when the at-fault party's actions do not match what an average person would do in similar circumstances.

For instance, a physician has several professional obligations to his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are bound to take care of other drivers as well as pedestrians, and to respect traffic laws. Drivers who violate this obligation and causes an accident is responsible 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 demonstrate that the defendant failed to meet that 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 breach of duty by the defendant was the main cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This can be more difficult to prove than the existence of a duty and breach. For instance it is possible that a defendant been a motorist who ran a red light, but it's likely that his or her actions was not the primary reason for your bicycle crash. Causation is often contested in a crash case by defendants.

Causation

In motor vehicle cases the plaintiff must prove an causal link between breach by the defendant and their injuries. For instance, if a plaintiff suffered neck injuries as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends, his or her lawyer could argue that the collision was the cause of the injury. Other elements that are required to cause the collision, such as being in a stationary vehicle, are not culpable and do not affect the jury's decision of liability.

It is possible to establish a causal relationship between a negligent act and the plaintiff's psychological symptoms. The fact that the plaintiff has a a troubled childhood, poor relationship with his or her parents, experimented with drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity the psychological issues is suffering from following an accident, however, the courts typically consider these factors as an element of the background conditions that caused the accident arose rather than an independent cause of the injuries.

Damages

New York law recognizes that non-economic damages like suffering and pain, as well as loss of enjoyment of life can't be reduced to money. The damages must be proven through extensive evidence like depositions from family members and friends of the plaintiff, medical records, or other expert witness testimony.

In cases where there are multiple defendants, Courts will often use the rules of comparative negligence to determine the proportion of damages awarded should be split between them. The jury must determine how much responsibility each defendant incurred in the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage of the fault. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 specifically excludes owners of vehicles from the comparative fault rule with respect to injuries suffered by driver of these vehicles and trucks. The analysis to determine whether the presumption is permissive or not is complex. In general, only a clear demonstration that the owner did not grant permission for the driver to operate the vehicle will be able to overcome the presumption.
