Liability For New York Semi-Truck Accidents
A large number of collisions are due to inclement weather. According to Market Watch, “over half a million accidents per year are caused by snow, sleet, icy pavement or slushy pavement. Another sobering statistic is that on average, 1,705 Americans die each year due to crashes that happen in wintry weather.” Victims of car accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
The vast majority of car accidents are preventable and due to driver error. Drivers have a legal obligation to exercise due care in order to avoid collisions. To that end drivers must slow down and not travel any faster than the prevailing conditions would allow. Any person that is injured in a car accident may be able to seek some measure of justice through a civil claim.
