You should know some of the major reasons for accidents and should be careful to avoid them. Here are some examples:
- Distracted Driving
The most obvious reason for an accident is distracted driving. Texting or calling while driving can lead to a head-on collision or divert your vehicle, causing you to hit another car or something on or off the roadway.
- Speeding
Speeding thrills, but it also kills. Driving at high speeds is not permitted by law and can land you in trouble and/or potential physical harm. Often while speeding, drivers lose control of the vehicle.
- Weather Conditions
Bad weather conditions can wreak havoc and lead to unavoidable motor vehicle accidents. Drivers often fail to exercise the required level of caution to negotiate the treacherous conditions.
- Night Driving
Driving at night can be riskier than during the daytime. Lack of visibility plays a role as antagonist and increases the chances of accidents. You need to be extra vigilant while driving at night.
- Wrong-Way Driving
Driving on the wrong side of the road may seem unusual but can happen through a lack of alertness. Not being in the proper lane or failing to follow traffic rules can cause horrible car accidents.
- Driving While Impaired or Under the Influence
It is very important to comply with the law and refrain from getting behind the wheel when you have been drinking or partaking in the use of drugs. These accidents are similar to distracted driving in that the impaired state or concentration of the driver impacts their ability to take effective measures to avoid accidents.
Final Thoughts
If you find yourself in one of these situations, the first thing you need is medical attention. The second task should be to consult a motor vehicle accident attorney in Queens, or surrounding NYC areas, to learn your rights.

New York Mourns the Deadliest Motor Vehicle Accident
Saturday morning ended fatally for a motorised scooter rider in the Bronx. He was rushed to a nearby medical facility where doctors pronounced him dead.
Accident Details:
Alterass Vereen, 42, was slammed by a Volvo SUV. This accident occurred while Vereen was riding his scooter on Laconia Avenue, when he was struck by a Volvo SUV travelling east on 215th Street. The accident happened at about 11:00 P.M. Saturday.
The scooter driver was immediately taken to Jacobi Medical Center where doctors pronounced him dead. He was not immediately identified after the crash. Police question ‘who crossed the red light’? The scooter driver or the SUV Driver?
Nothing accurate in this regard has been determined by police.“I saw the motorcycle on the ground. From the look of it he hit his head on the windshield, his face was covered in blood,” said one eyewitness who requested anonymity.
According to Jennifer Brown, a nearby resident, she heard the collision of the vehicles. According to her, her oldest son heard it from upstairs and told her about the accident. The 62-year-old SUV driver remained at the scene. She may not be charged with a crime, say the authorities. Her identity hasn’t been revealed by police so far.

An out of control car caused a Nassau County bus stop crash. Four people were injured in the crash as reported by News 12. Faulty equipment and failure to maintain a motor vehicle can lead to accidents like the one in New Hyde Park when a blown tire caused a car to crash into a bus stop. People may not realize that, depending on the reasons for the tire failure, the owner and driver can be liable for injuries caused by faulty equipment or maintenance failures in New York motor vehicles.
Many times, car crashes and the resulting liability is clear cut. Other times it is very difficult to determine where the fault lies in car crashes. Juries are taxed with the burden of deciding how to apportion fault in personal injury trials. It is almost impossible to predict jury outcomes and any lawyer will tell you that. Therefore it makes logical sense to spend time maintaining your motor vehicles and do your very best to avoid preventable car crashes.
