Liability For New York Car Accidents
Many accidents are caused by drivers that make dangerous left turns. Pursuant to New York Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1163, “No person shall turn a vehicle at an intersection […] or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety.” There are a number of steps that drivers should take in order to avoid collisions.
- Drivers should slow down during periods of inclement weather.
- Drivers should check their blind spots during turns.
- Drivers should have their vehicles regularly inspected and maintained.
