Faulty or Neglected Vehicle Maintenance Leads to Serious Injuries

Owners of vehicles have a responsibility to ensure proper maintenance and repairs. Failure to do so could be considered negligence if an accident occurs. This could mean the driver of the vehicle with faulty or neglected maintenance is held accountable for serious injuries suffered by accident victims.

In addition, some vehicle owners asked garages or auto shops to take care of their maintenance or repairs, and faulty work led to a problem on the road and an accident. These negligent businesses may also be responsible, depending on the facts of the case.

Maintenance and proper repairs are a key part of keeping a vehicle safe and roadworthy. This is especially true with maintenance and repairs relating to the vehicle’s braking, steering, tires, and other critical components. When something goes wrong with one of these components, an accident occurs, and the victim suffers serious injuries, the party or parties responsible may be accountable. This could include:

• An owner who failed to provide the proper upkeep for the vehicle
• An auto shop tasked with maintenance or repairs on the vehicle that were not performed or performed improperly
• The manufacturer of a defective part used in vehicle repair

Financial Recovery Following an Albany Traffic Accident

Most car accident victims must rely on their personal injury protection (PIP) policy to recover money for lost wages and daily expenses related to their accident, as well as to cover their medical care. Only when they suffered serious or permanent injuries, missed an extended time from work, or met other exceptions to the state’s no-fault law can they pursue a fault-based claim.

While no-fault benefits may come quickly and do not require you to build a case and prove negligence and liability, an auto liability claim will allow you to seek additional losses beyond those available through your PIP policy. This includes intangible damages, such as pain and suffering and a decreased quality of life.

We also accept wrongful death accident cases. If your family member died from their accident injuries after an Albany car crash, we are here to help.

New York State Statute of Limitations on Car Accident Lawsuits

Per New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214, we generally have three years for an injury lawsuit in civil court if this becomes necessary in your case. This gives us the needed time to build a case and try to reach an out-of-court settlement if this is the best route for your case. However, we need to act quickly to identify and gather evidence while it is still available. Some types of evidence, including video of the accident, only lasts long enough to support your claim if someone knows it is necessary to preserve it.
