Liability for North Bergen Car Accidents

Speeding remains a major cause of motor vehicle collisions across New Jersey and the United States. According to the National Safety Council, “Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2023, killing 11,775, or an average of over 32 people on a typical day. The total number of fatal motor-vehicle crashes attributable to speeding was 10,541.” Several other factors besides speeding could contribute to a collision.

• Many car accidents involve a driver that is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Drivers are more likely to be involved in collisions if they are distracted.
• Car accidents are more likely when drivers are failing to scan the road ahead of them.

Drivers must use a great deal of caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles in the roadway. They must take into consideration the prevailing traffic and road conditions. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid hitting another vehicle, this could form the basis of a negligence claim. Depending on the facts of any case, there could be numerous sources of liability for any collision. This includes the police department that engaged in a pursuit if they acted with a reckless disregard for the safety of the public.
