Liability for Suffolk County Car Accidents

Speeding remains one of the leading causes of preventable collisions across New York. 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.” Many other factors could contribute to a car accident.

• Distracted driving
• Inclement weather
• Poor road conditions
• Fatigue

If a driver acts negligently and contributes to a car accident, they could be held at fault through a civil claim. In assessing whether or not a driver acted negligently, the small details matter. It matters whether or not another driver in a similar situation would’ve been able to avoid the crash. Any person injured due to the negligent actions of another driver may be able to seek some measure of accountability through a personal injury claim.
