Liability For Nanuet Car Accidents
Speed is one of the most common causes of car accidents in the United States. According to the NHTSA, “For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. In 2020, speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities.” There are many other factors that could contribute to a car accident.

All drivers must not operate at a speed greater than would be reasonable or safe given the prevailing conditions of the roadway.
