Factors that contribute to car accidents

Multiple factors can contribute to car accidents, and many are the result of some form of negligence by others. New York car accident lawyers may be able to help to prove that someone else was negligent in your case and gain maximum compensation for your losses. Some common contributory factors in car accidents include the following:

• Driving while distracted. Examples include using cell phones, eating, and putting on makeup. In New York, driving while texting or talking on a handheld device is against the law.
• Traffic law violations. Speeding, tailgating, improper lane changing, and failing to yield the right of way often lead to accidents. If a traffic citation is issued at the scene of a car accident, claims of negligence are strengthened.
• Driver error. Inattention, aggressive driving, fatigue, drowsiness, and distractions are forms of driver error.
• Equipment failure. Mechanical failures that lead to car accidents sometimes involve brakes, tires, steering mechanisms, or suspension. These circumstances might indicate negligence on the part of the owner or operator of the car, a mechanic, or the manufacturer for designing or manufacturing flawed equipment.
• Road conditions. Weather, road construction, debris on the roadway, or even potholes can affect road conditions. If such conditions contribute to a car accident, negligence is sometimes involved—and sometimes the government is the negligent party. There are special rules and time limits for filing a car accident claim with a government entity. A New York car accident attorney can help to facilitate your claim.
• Road design. Flawed road design often involves intersections, merging lanes, and traffic control devices. If the design of the road is determined to be a contributing factor in a car accident, the government may be liable to compensate you.
