Motor Vehicle Powers of Attorney

In many cases, multiple parties share responsibility for an accident. In such situations the jury may decide to distribute damages to the injured party in proportion to their share of negligence.

While DMV hearings aren't related to criminal court, a skilled NYC traffic attorney will make a major difference in the outcome of your case. Gannes & Musico, LLP has extensive experience in representing clients in these proceedings.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney is legal document that allows one person (the principal) to authorize another person (the agent) to take action on his or her behalf. The document may grant broad or limited powers and must be drafted in accordance with state law. The document must be signed by the signer or notarized before a notary public or a witness. A motor vehicle power of attorney gives the agent authority to handle vehicle-related responsibilities and may include the ability to sell a car, for instance. You can draft a Power of Attorney yourself if you contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles, or go to a legal website such as eForms.com or NYLawHelp. You can also ask a friend to help you prepare it.

Third parties sometimes refuse to accept Powers of Attorney. This could be due to various reasons. In some instances, a refusal can cause harm to the Principal. The third party may be held accountable for the damages.

To prevent this from happening it is essential that the Power of Attorney include language indicating that the agent cannot have title to any real estate or other property that is owned by the principal unless otherwise specifically stated in the document. The document should also state that the agent must provide a third party with the details of all transactions and other issues that they handle on behalf of their principal.

DMV Hearings

You have the right to an appeal hearing if DMV or other agency decides to take discretionary action against you (such as a license suspension for refusing breathalyzer tests). These hearings can be conducted in person or by phone, and usually held before a driver safety hearing officer from DMV. DMV will present all its evidence against the person, including any witnesses it has subpoenaed during the hearing. Then it's your turn to provide evidence in support of your claim (documents or witnesses, or your own testimony) to attack DMV's evidence in closing arguments and ask questions to the hearing officer.

In the end, winning a DMV hearing depends largely on the circumstances of your case, but you are more likely to win when you have an attorney. A lawyer can help determine whether there were any mistakes made by the police in your case during your arrest. For example, they may not have informed you that you would lose your license if did not take a breath test.

While you are not legally required to have an attorney at an DMV hearing, hiring a NYC DMV attorney will make the process easier. An attorney is knowledgeable about all the laws that apply to these kinds of cases and can help you make your case convincingly. They can also help you avoid being unfairly penalized by the DMV.

Suspension of License

If you are accused of certain criminal or traffic offenses that are deemed to be illegal, the Department of Motor Vehicles may suspend your license and driving privileges. The suspension or suspension of your license is typically remain in effect until you have completed the necessary steps to get it back.

Your driver's license can be suspended for many reasons, depending on where you reside. States that use points, for example, accumulating too many can cause a suspension. In addition to that, a judge may require your license to be suspended for a traffic conviction. In the majority of instances, a judge will allow you to drive with a limited driving license during the period of your suspension or suspension or revocation.

In certain states, your license could be revoked if you have been convicted of specific crimes, such as DUIs or vehicular manslaughter. In addition the license could be suspended for failure to pay back child support or other civil debts. You could also lose your license if you are suffering from a medical condition that makes driving a vehicle unsafe.





motor vehicle accident attorneys burbank will help you determine the state of your license and how best to proceed. They will explain that in many instances, you are entitled to an appearance before the DMV in the event that your license is suspended.

Representation

A representation letter is a crucial piece of paper that a lawyer delivers to the person they'll be suing. This puts the other party in the loop that they have a representative that will represent them and allows the lawyer to request documents and information from the party.

A large number of motor vehicle accidents are in the tort doctrine of negligence. Negligence is defined as a failure to exercise the degree of care expected from a person who is prudent in the same circumstances. Accidents in the automobile are usually caused or contributed to by a variety of causes. A driver's negligence could include driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or speeding, or ignoring traffic signs. Distracted driving, such as using your cell phone while driving, or applying makeup is a different reason.

In certain cases, two people injured in an accident in a car want the same lawyer to represent them. It is unethical for an attorney to represent a driver as well as an individual in a personal injury claim. Each client is in conflict. This can be avoided by creating separate agreements for each client. Alternatively, passengers can hire their own lawyers to file a lawsuit against the driver.
