Process for resolving multi-vehicle accidents
Resolving multi-vehicle accidents can be complex and time-consuming due to the challenge of determining fault among multiple drivers. With multiple points of impact and differing accounts of the events, it can be difficult to identify who caused the crash. Law enforcement and insurance companies will investigate to establish liability, which is crucial for personal injury claims.
New York no-fault laws and multi-vehicle accidents
New York’s no-fault laws allow drivers to use PIP insurance for medical expenses without determining fault.. A multi-vehicle accident lawyer can guide you through the process, ensuring accurate fault determinations and negotiating with insurance on your behalf.
The role of negligence in a multi-vehicle accident claim
To file a personal injury claim, negligence must be proven. A lawyer will show how another driver failed to keep the roads safe, causing injuries. New York’s contributory negligence laws allow compensation even if a driver is partially at fault, though their percentage of responsibility reduces the amount.
Your questions answered by an NYC multi-vehicle accident lawyer
Suppose the responsible parties does not offer enough compensation to cover your injuries. In that case, we file a lawsuit against the party or parties who hit you or are responsible for causing the multi-vehicle accident. That lawsuit can claim one to three types of damage, depending on your situation.
- Economic damages will help you pay for your financial losses. These can include medical treatments and tests, medications, damage to your vehicle or property, and any income that has been reduced or lost due to not being able to work due to the accident.
- Non-economic damages will compensate you for what you have had to experience. If you have lost quality of life, enjoyment, or consortium because of the accident, you may be able to claim non-economic damages. It will also cover your pain and suffering and emotional and mental distress.
- Punitive damages are only used when the at-fault party’s actions were grossly negligent and caused severe harm. It punishes the liable party while providing additional compensation for your significant losses.
According to New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CPLR) § 214(4), claims for car accidents must generally be filed within three years of the accident. Any lawsuit filed beyond this period is likely to be denied, and you will not be able to recover your losses even if you have been injured.
It is recommended that you talk to your NYC multi-vehicle collision lawyer as soon after your accident as possible and learn what your options may be.
