Liability For Syracuse 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 steps that drivers should take in order to avoid collisions.

Drivers should slow down at night and during times of inclement weather.
Drivers should check their blind spots before making turns.
Drivers should abstain from alcohol and other intoxicating substances.

The factors that may contribute to a car accident may take place hours, days, weeks or months prior to a fatal collision. Accidents are much more likely to take place at intersections, especially as drivers are making left turns. Any person that is injured in a Syracuse car accident may have legal recourse through a civil claim. A personal injury attorney can examine the unique facts of your case and let you know what your legal options are.
