What Is a Motor Vehicle Case?
A motor vehicle accident lawsuits vehicle case is a personal injury lawsuit that involves a motor vehicle accident. While the majority of cases are governed under common law principles but there are some legal issues that are specific to this specific area.

This type of testimony can be used to identify the perpetrators of crime or provide details about what caused the accident.

For example, witnesses are more likely to make mistakes in recalling the color of an object or its shape. Perceptual distortions, like fading memories, can also cause a witness to misremember the exact event.
Witness memory can also be altered if a witness is given important questions or information. For example, researchers in one experiment found that telling participants to estimate the speed at which the car was travelling affected their responses. Other factors that affect the reliability of eyewitness testimony include age, attention, skills, stress levels, health conditions, prejudice, prior experience, cognitive state, the degree of certainty or confidence and suggestive questions, biased lineups and racial or individual bias.
Although many experts affirm that eyewitness testimony can be relied upon there is a need to educate law enforcement agencies and jurors 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.
