Who Is at Fault in a Rear End Car Accident in Queens?

Under New York VAT § 1129(a), it is illegal for a driver to follow another vehicle “more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicles and the traffic upon and the condition of the highway.” This means that drivers in Queens have a duty to maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in front of them. If a driver fails to do so, they may be at fault for rear end crashes they cause.

However, there are certain situations where determining fault in a rear end car accident may not be as straightforward. For example, if the driver in front suddenly brakes without a valid reason or their brake lights malfunction, they may share some of the blame for the accident.

Additionally, if there are poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow, determining fault may become more complex. Distracted driving, such as texting or eating, can also contribute to rear end accidents and may result in shared liability between the drivers involved.

How Chopra & Nocerino Can Help Gather Evidence To Support Your Claim

In order to prove fault in a rear end car accident, there must be evidence that shows the other driver’s negligence caused your damages. Our Queens rear end accident lawyers can help gather this evidence by conducting a thorough investigation. This may include obtaining police reports, witness statements, and surveillance footage. Our team can also work with accident reconstruction experts to determine the sequence of events leading up to the crash.

Additionally, our rear end collision attorneys can obtain medical records, employment records, and other documentation to demonstrate the extent of damages suffered as a result of the other driver’s negligence. We may also turn to expert witness testimony to show the long-term effects of your injuries and how they impact your quality of life.

“I want to thank Chopra & Nocerino for not giving up on my case when it was dismissed. They appealed it, and the rest is history on the positive side! Highly recommend this firm to anyone who wants a successful case!”

– Richard Jackson, Google

“Had a very good experience with these folks after getting hit by a car on my bike. They took care of getting my follow-up care billed through driver’s insurance and made sure I received a fair settlement. Would definitely recommend !”

– Rebecca Sokoll, Google

What Is the Average Payout for a Rear End Accident Settlement in Queens?

No two rear end car accidents are the same. Ultimately, it is difficult to predict and impossible to guarantee the amount victims can receive through a lawsuit. Your compensation will depend on numerous factors specific to your case, such as the extent of your injuries, the degree of negligence on the other driver’s part, and the available insurance coverage. Our attorneys can give you a better idea of how much your case may be worth after evaluating it during your free consultation.

What Types of Compensation Are Available for Queens Rear End Car Accidents?

You may be eligible for compensation for the injuries and losses you suffered due to the accident. This will include economic damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. Both past and future losses may be included, including ongoing medical treatment and lost earning capacity due to the accident’s impact on your ability to earn a living.

Your compensation may also include non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages can be more difficult to assign a dollar value to, but they are just as important to consider when seeking fair compensation for your injuries. Our rear end collision lawyers in Queens can help you seek the maximum amount of compensation for all the losses you experienced due to the accident.

“Great experience with Alex Nocerino. He was able to triple the initial offer the company made me for my settlement. Very good with advice, very small amount of fees. 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend.”

– M.T., Google

“I can’t recommend Chopra & Nocerino enough. They took my case when no one else would and earned me a settlement that most didn’t think was possible. They have the resources of a larger firm but treat you as if you are their only client. Great firm with great lawyers, especially Alex Nocerino.”
