Courtrooms examine an individual's conduct to what a typical person would do in the same circumstances to establish what is an acceptable standard of care. In cases of medical malpractice experts are typically required. Experts who have a superior understanding in a specific field could also be held to an higher standard of care than other individuals in similar situations.

For example, a doctor has several professional obligations to his patients stemming from the law of the state and licensing boards. Drivers are obliged to protect other motorists and pedestrians, as well as to follow traffic laws. Any driver who fails to adhere to this obligation and causes an accident is accountable for the injuries of the victim.

For instance, if a plaintiff suffered an injury to the neck as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends and their lawyer might argue that the accident caused the injury. Other factors that contributed to the collision, such as being in a stationary car are not culpable and won't affect the jury's determination of the fault.

For psychological injuries, however, the link between an act of negligence and an victim's afflictions may be more difficult to establish. The fact that the plaintiff has a an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with their parents, abused drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some impact on the severity of the psychological issues he or suffers from following an accident, but courts typically consider these factors as an element of the background conditions that led to the accident from which the plaintiff's injury was triggered, not as a separate reason for the injuries.

In the event of multiple defendants, courts typically use the comparative fault rule to determine the amount of total damages to be split between them. The jury must determine the amount of fault each defendant had for the accident and to then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage of fault. New York law however, does not allow this. 1602 exempts owners of vehicles from the comparative negligence rule in cases where injuries are sustained by the drivers of cars or trucks.
