This may include a review of CPLR SS 1602.
Damages
A successful motor vehicle accidents vehicle lawsuit can establish the damages suffered by plaintiff. This is usually accomplished by providing detailed documentation on out-of pocket expenses that are incurred, as well as future losses that are anticipated due to the injuries suffered. These are known as non-economic and economic damages.

Your lawyer will help to calculate the damages you have suffered using a variety of methods. This includes retaining accident reconstruction experts who will look at photographs of the scene, police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence to help reconstruct the circumstances of the crash.
Your attorney will also be able to support your claim by obtaining expert opinions that outline the economic and noneconomic implications of your injuries. This will include estimates of the cost for future care and support, wage projections and other financial factors.

Comparative Fault
In the event of a car crash, the concept of comparative fault (or contributory negligence) determines the amount of blame an injured person is responsible for. It's an important issue in many cases and one that your attorney could be required to prove.
Most states have some form of comparative fault rule that allows victims to be compensated regardless of whether their part of the blame is for an accident. The amount of compensation will be based on their level of responsibility. For example when a jury awards you $100,000 for your injuries, but concludes that you're 40 percent at fault, you would receive only $60,000.
However, the law is much more complex than that, since there are two distinct forms of modified comparative fault rules. The second is known as the 50% bar rule, which prohibits an injured party from claiming damages if they are more than 50 percent at fault. It is a rule that is followed by several states, including Colorado and Utah. Another variant is pure comparative fault, which permits victims to seek damages even if they are found to be 99 % at fault.
Statute of Limitations
In the majority of cases, a person is injured in a car accident is allowed to file a lawsuit against the person responsible for the crash. However the lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period, referred to as the statute of limitations or the victim's legal claim will be barred and forfeited for ever.
The statute of limitation does not have anything to do with whether or the insurance company of the defendant will settle the case. It's all about the first incident that led to the case, or the incident or accident which caused the injury. So, knowing exactly when the clock starts to tick is crucial for ensuring compliance with this important legal rule.
In New York, people who are hurt in car crashes generally have three years to file personal injury lawsuits. In some cases this time frame can be reduced. In the event that a child is involved, for instance, the statute is paused until the child is free, which is achieved by marriage or at the age of 18, usually two years after the accident. There are other exceptions, and an experienced attorney can give advice on the particulars.
