Liability for Henrietta Car Accidents
Every driver must use caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles in the roadway. Pursuant to NY Veh & Traf L § 1128, “A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.” Several factors could contribute to any car accident.
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Inclement weather
- Poor road conditions
If a driver crosses into opposing lanes of traffic and collides with another vehicle, this could be construed as negligence. There is a presumption of chance on the part of any driveway on its own lane of traffic that collides with another vehicle. Any person injured in a Henrietta car accident may be able to pursue damages through a personal injury claim. Damages can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
