What Are The Main Causes Of Brooklyn Truck Accidents?
Some serious accidents are caused by Brooklyn truck drivers due to issues like:
- Fatigued driving
- Impaired driving
- Distracted driving
- Aggressive driving
The top cause of all motor vehicle accidents is human error, and these errors can lead to truck drivers merging without signals, failing to yield the right of way, running stop signs or red lights and much more. Additionally, the trucking company may be liable for issues like substandard truck maintenance, poor driver training, load shift accidents and more. Often, victims can seek compensation from commercial truck drivers and the companies they work for.
What Is The Timeline For Filing A Truck Accident Injury Claim In Brooklyn?
Brooklyn follows New York’s statute of limitations for truck accidents, which is three years. It is best to contact the authorities immediately so that you have access to police reports and other evidence. You can then get medical attention and the medical reports you will need for your case. If the insurance company offers you a settlement, remember that you have time to consider it carefully. You do not want to accept it if the total will not cover all of the costs you are facing.
