Liability for Manhattan Taxi Accidents
Drivers have a legal obligation to use caution to avoid causing an accident. According to New York Vehicle Code 1146, “Notwithstanding the
provisions of any other law to the contrary, every driver of a vehicle
shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any bicyclist,
pedestrian, or domestic animal upon any roadway and shall give warning
by sounding the horn when necessary.” Several steps should be taken after any pedestrian accident.
- Victim should seek medical treatment.
- All of the evidence associated with the crash should be preserved.
- Eyewitnesses should be interviewed.
- Victims should contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
It can be difficult to know where to begin after any pedestrian accident. Victims are often left with serious and lasting injuries. To make matters worse, drivers and their insurance providers will almost never accept responsibility after any crash. This is why it is so important that accident victims contact an experienced attorney. An attorney can take steps to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
