A failure to maintain lane accident occurs when a driver fails to keep their vehicle within the designated lane markings on the road. In New York, this is governed by Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1128, which states that a vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.
These accidents can happen for various reasons, including distracted driving, drowsiness, intoxication, or poor road conditions. Regardless of the cause, failing to maintain a lane can lead to serious accidents, including sideswipes, head-on collisions, or run-off-road crashes.
Several factors can contribute to failure to maintain lane accidents in New York:
These causes can have serious implications, potentially resulting in severe accidents and legal consequences for the at-fault driver.
Failure to maintain lane accidents in New York can result in various injuries and damages, including:
In New York, all drivers are required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance as part of the state's no-fault insurance system. This coverage is designed to provide immediate financial assistance for medical expenses, lost wages, and other accident-related costs, regardless of who was at fault in the accident.
When it comes to failure to maintain lane accidents, PIP insurance is typically the primary source of compensation for injured parties. To claim this insurance, you should notify your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident and provide them with all necessary documentation, including medical records and bills.
However, it's important to note that PIP insurance doesn't cover everything. While it's the primary recourse and generally bars drivers from suing each other, there is an exception in cases of "serious injury" as defined by New York's insurance law. If your injuries meet this threshold, you may be able to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
Under New York Insurance Law, a "serious injury" is defined as:
If you've been seriously injured in a failure to maintain lane accident in New York, contact the Porter Law Group. Our experienced vehicular accident attorneys can help you receive compensation beyond what PIP insurance provides. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.
Motorcycle accidents in New York are treated differently from car accidents under the law. Unlike cars, motorcycles are not covered by the state's no-fault insurance system. This means that while motorcycle riders don't have access to PIP benefits, they also aren't subject to the "serious injury" threshold that car drivers must meet to file a lawsuit.
As a motorcycle rider injured in a failure to maintain lane accident, you have the right to directly sue the at-fault party for damages. This includes compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other accident-related costs. While this can potentially lead to higher compensation, it also means you'll need to prove the other driver's negligence to recover damages.
At the Porter Law Group, we understand the unique challenges faced by injured motorcyclists. We fight against the prejudice that motorcycle riders often face in road accident cases, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation. If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact us today for a free consultation. Remember, we work on a contingency fee basis, so you won't pay any fees unless we win your case.
