In other words, the vast majority of car accidents are caused because of negligent driving. When negligent actions lead to accident there are often victims who suffer injuries that are quite serious. For instance in a car accident a victim may be through into the dashboard or into the windshield causes serious trauma to the head and deep lacerations. As a result victims sometimes end up with lifelong memory deficits, cognitive impairment, seizures and migraines.

Clearly such victims will end up with significant medical bills and will probably miss weeks or even months of work. Victims do have recourse. Under New York law victims of Ferrari car accidents may seek financial awards from the person whose recklessness resulted in the collision.

In order to show that a driver was negligent, you must show the following:

• The defendant breached a duty of care. The defendant must have owed you a duty of care. This means that the defendant was required by law not to put you at risk. Under New York law all drivers are required to operate their vehicles in a manner that does not put other drivers, cyclists or pedestrians at risk. If they fail to do so by driving recklessly, driving while drunk, driving while texting, or driving in some other negligent manner, that driver has breached a duty of care.
• You must have suffered a compensable loss. In order to have a valid claim you have must have suffered a serious injury. A few scratches and bruises that require little or no medical treatment are not sufficient for a personal injury claim. On the other hand broken bones, head trauma, internal bleeding, traumatic amputation, and spinal cord injuries will results in significant medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages. There are all compensable losses. You must be able to prove that the injuries you suffered resulted from the accident and were not pre-existing ailments.

As an experienced injury attorney will explain, you have the right to demand that the negligent person compensate you for your out-of-pocket expenses and other losses. Examples of compensable losses include:

• Lost wages: Paychecks that you did not receive because you were recovering; the value of sick and vacation days that you used while you were recovering; loss of future earnings that you will not receive because you suffered a permanent disability.
• Medical bills: Emergency room, hospital, surgery, nursing facility, doctor, therapists, chiropractor, medication, and medical equipment
• Pain and suffering: Physical pain you suffered which can be measured by the type of injury and the type of medication your had to take; emotional pain which can be measures by the fact that your injury left a permanent scar or your injury left you permanent disabled
• Wrongful death: If a family member is killed in a car accident, you may be able to pursue damages through a wrongful death action. However, under New York law only a decedent’s personal representative has the standing to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
