What Is a Motor Vehicle Case? A motor vehicle case is a personal injury lawsuit involving the accident of a motor vehicle. While most cases are governed by standard common-law concepts of negligence, there are a number of issues specific to this area of practice. Under New York law, owners of vehicles are responsible for accidents that happen while their vehicles are being operated without their permission, either express or implied. Our legal team takes care of these cases on a contingency basis. Eyewitness Testimony Eyewitness testimony is a powerful addition to other evidence in relation to motor vehicle-related cases. This type testimonies often helps identify the criminal or provide details about the circumstances of the crash. There is a large body of research that indicates eyewitness testimony is often not reliable. Witnesses are prone, for example, to make a mistake when attempting to recall an object's colour or shape. Perceptual distortions, for example, faded memories, may cause a person to miss the exact incident. Witness memory can also be affected when witnesses are given leading questions or information. Researchers discovered that in one experiment, telling participants to estimate the speed of a car affected their responses. Other factors that affect the credibility of eyewitness testimony include age, attention skill, stress level health conditions, prejudice, previous experiences, cognitive state, the degree of certainty or confidence and suggestive questions, biased lineups and racial or personal bias. While many experts say that eyewitness evidence can be relied upon but there is a need to educate jurors and law enforcement agencies about the possibility of error in this kind of evidence. In some cases, eyewitness testimony that was incorrect has led to wrongful convictions, or even murder. In 2018 the Innocence Project proved that the fingerprints found on a cup which a witness used to identify the suspect in a burglary, were not those of Royal Clark's. Vehicle Examination As a rule vehicle inspections are required each year. Certain types of vehicles, like private-sale vehicles or those with expired inspection stickers, may require more frequent inspections. In certain instances, such as when the New York resident moves and requires a change of address, it's required that the vehicle is examined prior to issuance of new stickers. A forensic examiner will first verify some of the details, such as the model and make of the car and its registration date, odometer reading and so on. The inspector then will inspect the vehicle, starting with the obvious areas, such as the windshields and mirrors, the lights and the horn. There are various checklists that ensure a thorough examination has been conducted, which includes inspecting things such as rust and suspension components. Drivers must be vigilant and alert for other motorists, pedestrians and potential hazards. In the event of a crash, it could be viewed as negligent. A driver must also be in control at all times.

A car's manufacturer could be held accountable for the accident in the event of an auto defect or component part. Components or parts that are defective For a vehicle to function correctly, thousands of tiny electrical and mechanical parts must function. If one of these parts fails, the results can be devastating. Often, these accidents result from manufacturing defects or other problems in the construction or design of a specific part. If a component that is defective in a vehicle is at the root of an accident, the person responsible for the accident could be responsible for compensating victims for injuries. Many people believe that all auto accidents are caused by human error. While motor vehicle accident lawsuit macon of them are caused by driver error but there are other factors, such as road conditions and defective parts that can cause an accident. Defective car parts include brakes, airbags, seatbelts, tires, or any other component that can fail to work as designed and lead to an accident. Sometimes, these defects are caused by aftermarket upgrades that were not designed with the same level of care as the original parts on the vehicle. Sometimes, the problem may be present in the design of a specific component. Manufacturers are required to make vehicles that meet the minimum safety standards. If a vehicle, or any of its components, was not designed or constructed in accordance with these standards, the maker is liable for any damages resulting from an accident caused by a defective component. Insurance Coverage In many states, drivers are required to carry insurance if their negligent or conduct causes harm to others. Liability coverage includes bodily injury liability and property damage liability.

Property damage insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged by something other than a collision with another car or object, such as theft, fire, windstorm and the impact of the deer. It may also protect your vehicle from damage caused by driving on potholes. This type of insurance is mandatory in New York, among other states. In many states in many states, uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance (UM/UIM) is a requirement.
