NYC Car Accident Lawyer
What causes New York City car accidents?
A car accident may have any of a number of potential causes. The factor most commonly considered to contribute to all types of
auto accidents is driver negligence. This would include some type of conduct or act on the part of a driver that constitutes a failure to exercise a reasonable level of caution or care in the circumstances. Distracted driving is a common form of driver negligence that may lead to a collision, but the number of individual causes of car accidents is virtually innumerable. We have included some of the most common below:
- Speeding - driving above the speed limit or too fast for current traffic, weather or road conditions.
- Distracted driving - talking on the phone, texting, eating, drinking or doing anything other than putting one's full physical, mental and visual attention on driving.
- Drunk driving - driving while one's abilities are impaired by alcohol or drug use.
Defective vehicle parts, dangerous roadways and heavy weather are other, less common, causes of accidents.
