WHY DRIVERS HAVE TO STAY AT THE CRASH SCENE IN NYC?

When involved in an accident in NYC, if the crash causes harm to property, injury, or death, you are legally obligated to stay on site.

In Case of Property Damage: If no accidents occur and there is minor damage to the property, drivers must not call the police or wait on the scene before the police reach. But they must stay and share details about insurance with other parties.

In Case of Injury Or Death: If an accident injures or causes death, drivers must stay on the spot, calling the police to report the accident if they are not hurt. Drivers can also share details related to insurance or personal injury claims.

If a driver exits the crash scene without details shared or the police waiting, it is called a hit and run case.

NEGLIGENCE PER SE AND YOUR CASE

In New York, it can be a felony, no matter who is to blame, to leave the scene of an accident. So if after a crash, a driver doesn’t hang around, they violate the law. You can use It as an advantage to get compensation.

That is because negligence is assumed under the doctrine of neglect per se when an entity violates a law intended to protect the form of harm. Indeed the Court in New York noted explicitly “that a violation of traffic and vehicle laws is also well established to be negligent per se.”

When a person’s hit and run is prosecuted, you may use that to establish an unreasonably reckless assumption. You will have to decide, in particular.

THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER VIOLATES THE LAW!

This, the law against hitting and running, was a safety law designed to prevent injury, and the purpose of this law was to protect you.
The hit-and-run driver is presumed to be reckless. Otherwise, the burden to prove will shift. It can lead to an easier road to financial recovery if you invoke negligence per se.

You File a Claim With Your Insurance Provider Under New York State Law

The insurance laws of New York include no-fault. So you must make a report first with your insurance provider following an accident. Who has caused or contributed to your real injury? Thus, with all of the costs associated with the hit and crash, you will recover without ever involving the driver.
But, despite what they might say on TV or commercials, that insurance providers are on your side. Instead, insurers – are interested in maximizing their benefit. So they will try to ignore or reject your claim for whatever cause.

That’s why it’s essential to partner with an experienced NYC car accident attorney, even though you’re only working with your insurer. At Rozhik Law Firm PLLC, our team has been working with insurance firms in New York for decades. We know the players, and we understand how they will try and get the money you deserve out of paying them. We also know how to get them to play the ball and seriously take your point.

It should be noted that automobile accidents, especially those that hit and crash, can cause devastating wounds—a non-fatal accident in New York averages around $100,000. More severe injuries will quickly drive into six figures.

It could also be necessary for your accident to surpass the coverage of your insurance. If that occurs, all forms of compensation must be considered. We’ll look at your case from every angle and figure out how you can get the money you need.

WE DEMAND COMPENSATION FROM ALL LIABLE PARTIES

Mostly, accidents are not black and white. There are several moving pieces, and there could be many possible explanations for why the hit and run accident occurred. It is essential to make sure we know what happened to your accident. If the cause(s) is known, we will figure out who is wrong.
You will claim compensation from those contributing to the accident or injury under New York’s Comparative Negligence Rules. It may include:

• The driver hit and escaped.
• Transit companies
• Other motorists on the road, bicyclists, or pedestrians
• Companies that sold defective products
• Government agencies
• Employers of negligent parties

Our knowledgeable team digs intensely to get the answers you need. We will campaign for them and keep them accountable until we know which one is responsible for the injuries.

WHAT IS THE PENALTY FOR THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER?

The driver is found by the police and charged with a violation of the state’s hit and run laws. You will not be unable to bring a civil damage case. There are separate and distinct criminal and civil cases. Both can go on concurrently. Sometimes, civil proceedings stayed – or remain on hold – as a similar criminal case progresses. It is usually done to allow the defendant (hit driver), who is considered severe, to concentrate on defending against criminal charges.

As long as you file your hit and proceed to injury, you will not be denied compensation simply because your case is stopped. Your civil action will resume after the criminal case has been settled.

Your lawyers can diligently investigate, collect proof, identify your damage, and make a convincing argument on your behalf while your case is still pending.

Remember that the impact of a similar criminal case would not affect your civil case automatically. However, a conviction can work for you. All these items will be taken into account by our professional NYC hit and run injury attorneys as we seek compensation on behalf of you.
