What Is a Motor Vehicle Case? A motor vehicle lawsuit is any personal injury lawsuit that is based on a motor vehicle accident. While most cases are governed by common law concepts of negligence however, there are a variety of specific issues pertaining to this practice area. According to New York law, vehicle owners are accountable for accidents that occur when their vehicles were operating with their explicit or implied consent. Our legal team tackles these cases on an incidental basis. Eyewitness Testimony Eyewitness testimony can be a valuable supplement to other evidence in a motor vehicle case. This type of testimony typically aids in identifying the culprit of a crime or provide specifics about how the crash took place. There is a large body of research that indicates eyewitness identifications are usually inaccurate. Witnesses are likely, for example, to make errors when attempting to recall an object's colour or shape. Furthermore, perceptual distortions -- like fading memories can also affect a person's memories of a particular incident. Witness memory can also be altered when a witness receives leading questions or information. For instance, researchers in an experiment found that telling participants to estimate the speed at which a car was traveling influenced their answers. Other factors that affect the reliability of eyewitness testimony include age, attention, skill, stress level health conditions, prejudice, previous experience, cognitive status, confidence or level of certainty, suggestive questioning, biased lineups and personal or racial bias. Although many experts affirm that eyewitness testimony can be trusted there is a need to sensitize law enforcement agencies and jurors regarding the possibility of errors in this type of evidence. In some cases, eyewitness testimony that was inaccurate can lead to wrongful convictions or even murder. In 2018 the Innocence Project proved that the fingerprints that were found on a cup which a witness used to identify a suspect in a burglary not the Royal Clark's. Vehicle Examination In general vehicle inspections are required each year. Certain vehicles, like those that are privately owned or with expired inspection stickers, might require periodic inspections. It is also mandatory for certain situations, like when residents of New York moves and needs to change their address, that their vehicle is inspected prior to when the new stickers can be issued. When an inspector conducts an inspection they start off by verifying some of the details like the vehicle's make and model, its registration date, its odometer reading, and other such details. The inspector will then look over the vehicle, starting with the obvious areas, such as the mirrors and windshields, the lights and the horn. There are many checklists to ensure that a thorough inspection is carried out, including checking for things such as corrosion or suspension parts. Drivers are expected to be alert on the road and to look out for other drivers, pedestrians, and potential hazards. The failure to do so could constitute negligence. The driver must also keep control at all the time. A vehicle that is defective can cause a loss of control over the vehicle, which could cause serious injuries. A car's manufacturer could be held responsible for the accident in the event that it was caused by an auto defect or a component part. Components or parts that are defective To function properly, thousands of tiny electrical and mechanical parts must function. If one of these components fails, the results can be devastating. These accidents are typically due to manufacturing errors or other issues with the construction or design the component. If a defective part of a vehicle is the reason of an accident, the person who caused the accident may be liable for compensating the victims for their injuries. Many people think that all auto accidents happen because of human error. While 94 % of car crashes result from driver error however, there are other elements that can cause a crash including road conditions and defective auto parts. Defective car parts include brakes, seatbelts and tires, airbags or any other part that may not function in the way it was designed and result in an accident. These defects could be caused by aftermarket parts that were not designed as carefully as the original components of a car. Sometimes, the problem can be found in the initial design of a particular part. Manufacturers are required by law to make vehicles that meet the minimum safety standards. If motor vehicle accident lawsuit miramar , or any of its components, were not constructed or designed according to these specifications the manufacturer could be held accountable for any damage resulting from an accident caused by a defective component. Insurance Coverage In most states, drivers are required to carry insurance if their negligence or misconduct can cause harm to others. Liability coverage includes bodily injuries and property damage liability. Bodily Injury liability covers your medical expenses and the medical bills of others injured in a crash caused by your vehicle, up to the policy limits. Typically there is a separate limit for each victim and a single limit for the total amount of property damage. Some insurers offer policies with higher limits for the kind of damages. Property damage insurance will cover to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged in any way other than by an accident. This includes theft, fire or windstorm, as well as impact from a deer. This coverage may also cover damage that is caused by driving over potholes. This type of insurance is mandatory in New York and some other states. In many states the uninsured or underinsured driver insurance (UM/UIM) is required in many states. However, some states only require it if the driver at fault is not insured or has no insurance. This insurance covers you or your passengers for your loss of property and medical expenses if the at-fault driver does not have insurance, is uninsured, or in a hit-and-run crash.
