Liability for Queens Parkway Car Accidents
Speeding remains one of the most common causes of serious injury collisions in the United States. According to the National Safety Council, “Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2023, killing 11,775, or an average of over 32 people on a typical day. The total number of fatal motor-vehicle crashes attributable to speeding was 10,541.” Speeding can increase the risk of car accidents in a number of ways.
- Drivers are less able to avoid obstacles in the roadway at higher speeds.
- Vehicles have a much greater stopping distance at higher speeds.
- Drivers are much more likely to lose control of their vehicle at higher speeds.
All drivers must operate their vehicle with caution to avoid causing accidents. In particular, drivers must not travel at a speed greater than would be reasonable and prudent given the prevailing conditions of the roadway. During periods of inclement weather, drivers may need to slow down well below the stated speed limit. Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
Car accidents are often highly preventable. They tend to be the result of drivers that are failing to follow traffic regulations. It is important that accident victims understand that they do have legal options. They are able to seek some measure of accountability through a civil claim. A personal injury attorney can examine all of the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
