Liability for New York City Taxi Accidents
Car accidents remain one of the leading causes of preventable injury and death in the United States. According to the National Safety Council, “2023 marks the second consecutive decrease in deaths. Deaths decreased 3% in 2023, following a 2% decrease in 2022. From 2019 to 2021, deaths increased by 20%. In 2023, 44,762 people died in motor-vehicle crashes compared to 46,027 in 2022 and 46,980 in 2021.” There are a number of factors that could contribute to any car accident.
- Speeding
- Inclement weather
- Poor road conditions
- Driver intoxication
Drivers must exercise due care to avoid colliding with any vehicle along the roadway. Among other things, every person on the roadway must maintain their vehicle at a speed that is reasonably safe given the prevailing weather and road conditions. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle or fixed object, this could form the basis of a negligence claim.
