A motor vehicle case is any personal injury lawsuit that results from the motor vehicle involved in an accident. While the majority of cases are governed under common-law concepts, there are some issues which are unique to this area. According to New York law, vehicle owners are responsible for motor accidents that occur while their vehicles were operating with their explicit or implied permission. Our legal team tackles these cases on an contingency basis. Eyewitness Testimony Eyewitness testimony can provide an invaluable addition to other evidence in a kodiak motor vehicle accident lawsuit vehicle case. This type of testimony often helps to identify the culprit of a crime or provide specifics about the manner in which the crash occurred. However there is a large body of research indicating that eyewitness identifications are often in error. Witnesses are more likely to make a mistake when recalling an object's color or shape. In addition perceptual distortions like fading memories can also alter a person's memories of a particular incident. Witness memory can also be altered when a witness receives specific questions or facts. Researchers discovered that in one study where participants were instructed to estimate the speed of a car influenced their responses. Other factors that impact the accuracy of eyewitness accounts include age and attention level, as well as skill as well as stress, health conditions and prejudice. Although many experts insist that eyewitness testimony can be relied upon however, it is important to educate law enforcement agencies and jurors regarding the possibility of errors in this type of evidence. In some instances, eyewitness testimony that was not accurate has led to wrongful convictions or even murder. For instance, in 2018 the Innocence Project was able to prove that the fingerprints on a cup used by witnesses to identify the suspect in a burglary were not the Royal Clark's. Vehicle Inspection In general inspections for vehicles are required every year. Certain types of vehicles might need be inspected more frequently in certain circumstances, like those that are sold through private sales or have an expiring inspection sticker. It is also required in certain circumstances, like when residents of New York moves and needs to change their address, that their vehicle is inspected before the new stickers can be issued. When an inspector conducts an inspection they begin by confirming a few details such as the car's model and make and registration date as well as the odometer reading and so on. The inspectors then start to look at the vehicle itself, starting with the obvious areas like the mirrors lights, windshields, and horn. There are many checklists to ensure an exhaustive inspection is carried out, including checking for things such as rust or suspension parts. Drivers must be alert and alert for pedestrians, other motorists and potential dangers. Failure to do this could be considered to be negligence. It is also the driver's responsibility to ensure that they are in control of their vehicle at all time. A vehicle that is not in good condition could cause the vehicle to lose control, resulting in serious injuries. It is also possible that the manufacturer could be held accountable under the laws of product liability in the event that the accident was caused by a defect in the vehicle or its component parts. Parts or Components that are defective To function correctly, thousands of tiny mechanical and electrical components must work in harmony. If one of these components fails, the results can be catastrophic. These accidents are often the result of manufacturing faults or other problems in the design or construction of specific part. If a car part that is defective is the cause of an accident, the party responsible could be responsible for compensating the crash victims for their injuries. Many people think that all auto accidents occur due to human error. While nearly 94 percent of car accidents result from driver error but there are other causes that can trigger a crash such as road conditions and defective auto parts. Defective components of a car include brakes, airbags, seatbelts, tires, or any other component that can fail to work according to the specifications and cause an accident. Sometimes, these issues result from aftermarket upgrades that weren't made with the same care as the initial parts on vehicles. Sometimes, the issue is present in the original design of a part. Manufacturers are required to design vehicles that meet the minimum safety standards. If a vehicle, or any of its components, was not designed or constructed to these specifications the manufacturer could be held accountable for any damage resulting from an accident caused by a defective component. Insurance Coverage The majority of states operate under a tort liability system that requires drivers to have insurance in case their misconduct or negligence causes injury to another. Liability insurance covers bodily injuries as well as property damage liabilities. The bodily injury coverage covers your medical expenses and those of others who are injured by your car in an accident in excess of the limit of your policy. There is typically an amount for each injured person, and a limit for all property damage. Some insurers offer policies that have higher limits on these kinds of damages. Property damage coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle when it is damaged by something other than a collision with a vehicle or object, for example windstorm, fire, theft and the impact of deer. This insurance may also be used to cover damage caused by driving through potholes. This kind of insurance is required in New York, among other states. In many states, uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance (UM/UIM) is a requirement. However, certain states require it only when the driver at fault is not covered by insurance. This insurance covers medical and property damage when the driver at fault does not have insurance or is underinsured. |
