Liability for Long Island Car Accidents
Speeding remains one of the leading causes of preventable car accidents. 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.” There are many ways that speeding could contribute to a car accident.
- Drivers are much more likely to lose control of their vehicles at higher speeds.
- It takes longer to stop a moving vehicle at higher speeds.
- Drivers are more likely to roll over at higher speeds.
Every driver has a legal obligation to exercise due care to avoid colliding with other vehicles in the roadway. There is a presumption of negligence on the part of any driver that leaves their lane of traffic and collides with another vehicle. Any person injured in a car accident may be able to seek some measure of accountability through a personal injury claim.
