Accidents on the parkway often happen quickly, making it challenging to know who caused them. If this is the case for you, we can gather and analyze evidence to determine whose negligence caused the crash and your injuries. Potentially liable parties for an accident on the parkway include, just by way of example:
When driving on the parkway, those around you owe you a duty to care for your safety and drive responsibly. A driver may breach this duty by driving negligently or recklessly, driving under the influence, using their phone or otherwise being distracted. In these cases, the driver may be held liable for the accident and your injuries.
Many people drive for their work, so if someone causes an accident while on the job, their employer will typically be held responsible under the law for their driver’s actions. Our passionate lawyers understand that employers typically have deeper pockets, and greater insurance coverage, than their employees, and thus know to pursue the employers as well.
When a manufacturer makes a car, they are responsible for ensuring every part functions properly and is secured tightly. Unfortunately, manufacturers sometimes neglect this duty and fail to build and inspect their cars properly. This may cause an accident and result in serious injuries. In this case, the manufacturer may be held responsible for the crash.
A mechanic is supposed to fix the issues in your car and tell you about any problems so that you understand your vehicle’s condition. Unfortunately, mechanics may not fix the problem, or may even end up causing more problems. Therefore, if a mechanical issue causes an accident and your injuries, the mechanic and its employer may be held accountable for your damages.
Poor road conditions, debris in the road, or lack of signage are sometimes the cause of accidents on the parkway. Because government agencies own these roads, they are responsible for maintaining them and keeping them safe for drivers. We understand it can seem intimidating to take on a government entity, but if they neglected their duty of care, we fight tirelessly to hold them liable and recover the compensation you deserve.
If you suffered injuries in an accident on a New York parkway, you might not remember details of the crash, making it difficult to identify a liable party and file your claim.
