Negligence
In legal terms, negligence is an act of tort. Torts are civil wrongs that fall under a distinct category from criminal offenses. Negligence cases involve the defendant's inability to exercise a reasonable degree of care and caution in their actions or inactions. The result is injury or harm caused by accident to someone else. Negligence is a leading reason for accidents and injuries. This is the case with car accidents or slip and fall accidents in restaurants, workplaces or private residences, and medical malpractice (when doctors do not adhere to the guidelines of care).
A lawsuit for negligence involves four main elements which are duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. First, the defendant is expected to perform a duty of diligence to the plaintiff. It could be a duty to take an action or to refrain from doing something in certain situations. In the event of a car accident, for example, all drivers are obligated to drive with caution and observe traffic laws. The defendant then violates this duty by acting recklessly or negligently in any way. This can include driving while texting or speeding, or not wear a seatbelt. It is crucial to remember that this act will directly cause the victim's injuries. A defendant is not accountable for an injury that was caused by an external factor, such as the victim's nervousness or emotional state, or even the natural catastrophe that is out of their control.
If the court finds that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care the next step is to show that the defendant violated this obligation by failing to take action or by taking act that was contrary to the obligation. This could be a wrongful act or omission. The court must decide that the breach directly contributed to the victim’s injury or loss. This can be established through a clear causal connection, such as a close connection between the breach of duty and the direct, proximate cause of the loss or injury like the above examples.
In the past, American court systems followed the doctrine of contributory negligence. This meant that victims were not entitled to compensation if he or was even partially responsible for his or her own injuries. But, many states use a model called pure comparative fault or comparative negligence that allows victims to claim lesser amounts of compensation based on their responsibilities for the incident.
Damages
Damages are awarded in accident legal actions to compensate victims of their losses. General and special damages may be awarded in a variety of forms. Special damages are concrete in nature and easy to prove, like medical bills, property damage and out-of-pocket court and litigation costs. General damages comprise emotional pain and distress loss of enjoyment living, physical impairment, disfigurement, and other non-tangible damages.
During the investigation phase of your case, we will review and analyze all documents available related to your accident. This will enable us to create a complete picture of your losses, and determine the amount of damages you are entitled to. Our lawyers will collaborate with experts to ensure that all damages are accurately estimated and calculated.
Economic damages are easy to determine and can be proved through a paper trail. These include medical expenses along with property damages and lost wages. Our lawyers will work with experts to determine the future economic damages, such as continuing medical expenses or loss of earning potential.
Non-economic damages are difficult to quantify because there is no clear value in terms of money for these types of damages. Common non-economic damages arising from car accidents include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment life, emotional distress, and loss of consortium. Pain and suffering is often dependent on the severity of your injuries and how they impact your quality of life.
Loss of enjoyment refers to the inability to enjoy leisure or other activities. Physical impairment and disfigurement are typically included in this category as they have a negative impact on your daily activities.
Punitive damages are not often awarded in car accidents however, they may be ordered in cases where the conduct of the defendant was particularly outrageous or Firm when they committed reckless conduct or committed fraud. These types of damages seek to punish the defendant, and discourage others from engaging in similar behavior.
Expert Witnesses
Expert witnesses are crucial for an effective personal injury claim. They are experts who have not witnessed the accident, but who have training, education, or experience with the specifics of the claim they can impart to the jury.
A car accident expert is usually consulted to provide an expert analysis of the crash, especially if no eyewitnesses are available. They may be asked to recreate the accident or create models that are both physical and computer-generated to show how the accident took place. Their experience can help attorneys gain a deeper understanding about the accident, which they can use to convince insurance companies and juries that you're entitled to compensation.
A medical expert is another frequent kind of expert witness. These are doctors who can confirm the medical condition or injury a victim sustained during a crash, and show a jury the way the condition may be a result of the crash. They can also offer suggestions on treatment options and recovery options.
Engineering experts are often utilized in car accident claims. They can discuss the technical aspects of a wreck such as the design of the road as well as the construction and physical properties involved in the collision and even the vehicle designs. Your lawyer will be able to determine which experts are most useful in your case.
Mental health experts are often used in personal injury cases. They can aid in calculating the value of emotional damage such as suffering and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment.
Generally speaking an expert witness must be licensed to practice in the field they testify in. However there are exceptions to this rule, and the law varies from state to state. Personal injury attorneys are the best to inquire about laws regarding expert witnesses in the particular area. In many states experts are required to reveal their credentials and areas of their expertise prior to being called to testify. This is done to prevent possible bias or conflict of interest issues from being raised.
Time Limits
Depending on the circumstances, there are different time limits for filing lawsuits against people who caused an accident. The statutes of limitation differ from state to state. If you do not meet the deadline, your case may be dismissed. Seek out a lawyer as quickly after an accident as you can to avoid being caught by the statute of limitations deadline.
In New York, for example the statute of limitations is three years following an accident in the car. This does not mean that you must wait until after the deadline to make a claim. It's often better to file your claim earlier, when the details of the accident are still fresh in your mind. This also makes it easier for you to find and speak with witnesses.
You can make a civil suit against the person who caused the accident if you want compensation for personal injuries or property damage. A lawsuit must be filed before the time limit expires. Otherwise, you'll not be able to hold another person accountable.
The clock begins to tick on the date of your accident. The statute of limitations can be extended under certain circumstances. For instance, if the injury is not immediately apparent and you aren't able to identify it right away, your case can be held open by using the discovery rule.
Minors also have a set of rules in relation to time limits. If a child is injured in a car crash the child has up to two years from when the deadline expires to make a claim on their own behalf.
If you decide to sue the local or municipal government, the statute of limitations is much shorter. If you're involved in an accident with a City of New York garbage vehicle or police vehicle, or Sanitation Department pickup truck, you'll only have 90 days to file an notice of claim.
