Reckless Driving in New York

The New York Vehicle and Traffic Law §1212 defines reckless driving as using a motor vehicle in a way that unreasonably:

  • Endangers other road users
  • Interferes with the correct use of a roadway

Accordingly, the following actions may be considered reckless driving:

  • Tailgating
  • Improper lane changes and cutting other drivers off
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Disregarding signs or signals
  • Failure to signal
  • Exceeding the posted speed limit
  • And more

Although reckless driving is a misdemeanor in New York, you may be able to pursue compensation from the responsible party via a personal injury lawsuit regardless of any criminal charges they face.

Evidence of Liability in a Car Accident Case

As the Morelli Law Firm investigates your accident, we can collect evidence of the responsible party’s liability. This may include:

  • Official crash report
  • Medical records
  • Witness statements
  • Pictures of your injuries
  • Pictures of your vehicle
  • Any video footage we are able to obtain of the crash
  • Testimony from accident reconstruction experts
  • And more

If you have any evidence such as this after your crash, we encourage you to retain it.

Car Accident Injuries

It is important to receive medical treatment soon after your car accident. Even if you believe your injuries are relatively minor, you could have:

  • Injuries with subtle, delayed, or hidden symptoms
  • Injuries that do not improve on their own over time without treatment

Possible car accident injuries may include:

  • Whiplash
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Internal bleeding
  • Organ damage
  • Burns, cuts, or scrapes
  • Broken bones
  • Airbag impact injuries

In addition to providing you with treatment, seeing a doctor soon after your crash may support your personal injury case by creating a link in your medical record between your accident and your injuries.

Potentially Recoverable Damages and Evidence of their Value

Injuries of any severity you sustain in a car accident may incur medical expenses and other related costs. Your medical care, the time you are unable to work due to your injuries, and the cost to replace or repair your damaged vehicle are some of the economic damages that you may be able to recover with a personal injury compensation claim.

To demonstrate the potential value of your economic damages, our team may request the following documents:

  • Medical records and bills
  • Employment records
  • Salary history and check stubs

You may also be able to recover compensation for your future or non-economic damages, such as:

  • The estimated future costs of your medical care
  • Upcoming income loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physical disability or disfigurement
  • Mental or emotional anguish
  • And more

Morelli Law Firm can also help you determine the potential value of the non-economic portions of your compensation claim when we represent you.

Working to Resolve Your Claim

After we compile the evidence in your case, Morelli Law Firm can file an insurance claim and attempt to reach an out-of-court settlement with the responsible party’s insurance company.

If the at-fault party’s insurer refuses to make you a fair offer, Morelli Law Firm can take your case to trial.

When it comes to personal injury lawsuits in New York, New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CVP) §214 imposes a general three-year statute of limitations. The clock starts ticking on the date of the accident. If you wait too long and try to file a lawsuit after your statute of limitations expires, it may be dismissed.

If you think you may take legal action for your injuries, Morelli Law Firm encourages you to contact as soon as possible.
