Liability for New York City Car Accidents
Every driver has a legal obligation to exercise due care to avoid collision. Many collisions involve drivers that were traveling too fast for the prevailing conditions. Pursuant to NY Veh & Traf L § 1180, “No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing.” Truck drivers should take several measures to avoid collisions.
- Truck drivers should check their blind spots before changing lanes.
- Truck drivers should maintain a safe distance from the vehicles ahead of them.
- Truck drivers should continuously scan the road ahead of them for hazards.
It can be difficult to know where to begin after any truck accident. Victims are often left with serious injuries that necessitate that they take extended periods away from work. Accidents can be incredibly traumatic for families who may need to contend with the sudden loss of a loved one. It is important for victims to understand that they do have legal rights. These rights extend to the family member of any person who was killed. They may be able to seek some measure of justice through a wrongful death claim.
