Liability for Brentwood Car Accidents

Speed remains a leading cause of serious car accidents across New York and the United States. According to the NHTSA, “Speeding endangers everyone on the road: In 2023, speeding killed 11,775 people. We all know the frustrations of modern life and juggling a busy schedule, but speed limits are put in place to protect all road users.” Many other factors could contribute to a crash.

• Driver distraction
• Poor road conditions
• Inclement weather
• Driver intoxication

Every driver in New York has a legal obligation to exercise the due care necessary to avoid collisions. They must continuously scan the road ahead of them and slow down to avoid hazards. Many collisions are due to drivers that make dangerous left turns. If a driver makes a left turn into the path of another vehicle, they could be held at fault through a negligence claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover many different items.

• Lost wages
• Medical bills
• Future medical bills
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium

It can be difficult to know where to begin after any car accident. Many victims are so seriously injured that they need to take several weeks or months away from work. They may also be left with high medical bills. Any person injured due to the negligence of another driver may be able to seek some measure of accountability for a civil claim.
