Liability for Staten Island Car Accidents

Far too many people are killed or seriously injured every year in car accidents across New York. According to the New York State Comptroller, “There were 1,175 traffic fatalities in New York in 2022, which was the highest number since 2013. Nationwide traffic related deaths grew by nearly 17% while New York’s fatalities soared by 25.8% between 2019-2022. This increase coincides with a 7% decrease in vehicle miles travelled and a 12.5% decline in traffic accidents in New York in this period.” Many different factors could contribute to an accident.

• Car accidents are more likely during periods of inclement weather.
• Many collisions involve a driver who was speeding.
• Nearly 1/4 of our fatal collisions involve a driver who was intoxicated.

Every driver across New York City has a legal obligation to use caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles. They must maintain their vehicle at a safe speed and observe all relevant traffic regulations. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. It is important that certain steps are taken after any car accident.

• Victims should seek a thorough medical evaluation.
• The police should be called to the scene so that they can get an investigation.
• The victims should seek the guidance of an experienced New York car accident attorney.

Any person injured in a car accident may be able to seek damages in a civil claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, insurance providers will do everything in their power to pay victims as little as possible. This is why it is so important for injury victims to seek legal guidance early on.
