Liability for Saint James Car Accidents

Drivers have a legal obligation to use caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles. They must be particularly cautious when making left turns. Pursuant to New York Vehicle Code 1141, “The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.” Multiple actions should be taken after any motorcycle accident.

• All of the medical records related to injuries should be collected.
• Any person who may have more information about what happened should be interviewed.
• Victims should consider their legal options with a team experienced in personal injury law.

If a driver makes a left turn into the path of another vehicle, this could serve as evidence of negligence. There is a presumption of negligence on the part of any driver that enters into the path of another vehicle. Any person injured due to the negligent actions of a driver is able to seek some measure of accountability through a personal injury claim. Damages in a civil claim can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
