Reasons for Car Accidents in Nassau County
As quickly as new safety features are implemented to protect us from car accident injuries, risk factors seem to increase. All the seatbelts, steering and braking assistive devices do not seem to counterbalance the increasing traffic or the influx of impaired, distracted, and reckless drivers on our roads.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the following are the most common reasons for car accidents:
Car accidents also occur due to third-party errors, such as unrepaired potholes or pitted road surfaces caused by poor roadway maintenance or defective automotive equipment resulting from poor design, manufacturing, or assembly. Random occurrences such as a violent storm, an animal that strays into the road, or a medical event of another driver can also cause car accidents with injuries.
Our car accident attorneys are also able to sue car manufacturers for defective products or state/city/county governments for negligence, when appropriate.
You may wonder how we can sue the driver who injured you if New York is a no-fault insurance state. The explanation is that no-fault insurance is personal injury coverage in the form of medical treatment costs; it does not pay for auto body repairs or non-economic (intangible) damages, like pain and suffering. In New York State, your own car insurance policy covers:
- Medical and health-related costs (e.g. rehabilitation, ER and ambulance bills)
- 80 percent of lost income
In other words, to receive compensation for a damaged car or for the impact of your injury, you have to make a claim against and/or sue the responsible party for damages.
A great deal depends on where you were in the car when the accident occurred, the angle of impact (e.g. rear-end, head-on, or sideswipe), the weather, the speed of the vehicles involved, your age and state of health, and whether you were wearing a seatbelt. No matter what the situation is, Kohan Law Group is on your side and will fight to get you maximum compensation.
