Damages
A successful motor vehicle lawsuit needs to establish the amount of damages suffered by the plaintiff. This is typically done by providing thorough evidence of the expenses and future loss that will be anticipated due to the injuries suffered. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.
The former is used to cover things like medical expenses and lost income and the latter is for intangibles, such as suffering and pain. It is difficult to quantify a dollar amount on non-economic losses, like mental distress and loss of enjoyment in life.
Your lawyer will assist in calculating your damages through the use of a variety of methods. This could include hiring experts in accident reconstruction who will look over police reports, photos as well as witnesses' testimony and other evidence in order to reconstruct the crash.

These will include estimates of the future costs of care and support costs, wage projections, and other financial factors. These are necessary in order to ensure that you're fully compensated for losses that you have suffered and suffer in the future.
Comparative Fault
In a car accident a system called comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of fault an injured party is responsible for. In many instances, it's a crucial aspect that your lawyer will have to prove.
Most states implement some type of a comparative fault rule that allows victims to seek compensation even if they have a share of the blame in an accident. But the amount of their settlement will be lowered by the degree of fault. If, for instance, an award of $100,000 is made by a jury for your injuries, but determines that you're 40 percent responsible, you'll only receive $60,000.
There are two types of modified comparative fault rules. The first is the 50% bar rule. This rules out an injured person from receiving compensation if they're at fault for more than 50 percent. Colorado and motor vehicle accident Utah are two states that follow this rule. The other variant is called pure comparative fault, which permits victims to claim damages even if they are found to be at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of instances, an individual who has been injured involved in a car accident may file a lawsuit. However, these lawsuits must, be filed within the prescribed time of limitations or the claim of the victim will be barred forever.
The statute of limitations has nothing to do with whether or not the insurance company of the defendant will settle it, and has everything to do with the initial triggering event in the case-the incident or accident that caused the injury. The exact time at which the clock begins to tick is vital for complying with this important rule.
In New York, those injured in car accidents are allowed up to three years to start a personal injury lawsuit. In some instances the timeline may be shortened. In cases where a child is involved, as in the statute is stopped until that child is free, which is achieved by marriage or at the age of 18, typically two years after the incident. Other exceptions exist and experienced attorneys can provide advice on the specifics.
