Liability for Suffolk County Box Truck Accidents
Every person operating a motor vehicle in New York has a legal obligation to maintain their vehicle at a reasonable speed. Pursuant to NY Veh & Traf L § 1180, “No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing.” It is important that several actions are taken after any collision involving the box truck.
- Victims should seek medical treatment as early as possible.
- Photos of the accident site should be taken.
- Surveillance footage that may have captured the accident shall be sought.
- Victims should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney.
If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, they could be held at fault through a negligence claim. Depending on the unique facts of any collision, it is possible that there may be several responsible parties. This is particularly true if a vehicle was being used for some type of commercial purpose at the time of a crash. Any person injured in a truck accident may be able to pursue some measure of accountability through civil action.
