Comparative Negligence in Personal Injury Law

Liability is not black and white in the field of personal injury law. Even if your accident was mostly due to another person, a jury could potentially find that you share partial responsibility for your injuries. In New York State, this concept is known as “comparative negligence.”

Thankfully, being partially responsible for your accident does not automatically ban you from recovering damages. In accordance with New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §1411, any award you may receive (and settlements typically parallel this,)will be reduced based on your percentage of liability.

Lastly, considerations about acting promptly to speak with an attorney following an accident that gives rise to a Brentwood personal injury are extremely important to consider. For example, there are numerous laws that govern personal injury cases in Brentwood. One of the most important statutes is CVP §214. This law, known as the statute of limitations, establishes a time limit on filing personal injury lawsuits. In addition to the statute of limitations, there are many other deadlines that apply to claims and lawsuits. Besides the statute of limitations and other claim and lawsuit deadline rules, the practical concerns of gathering evidence, such as witness statements or dash-cam or surveillance video, before they cannot be found or, in the case of video, are destroyed, may be of great importance. If you want to position yourself to have a strong case, it is best to call an experienced, dedicated Brentwood Personal Injury Lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
