Brooklyn experienced 3,021 traffic crashes as reported by the NYPD in June of 2022. In that month alone, 10 individuals were killed and another 1,644 were injured. Driver inattention or distraction was the most common cause of these collisions by a wide margin. This amounts to negligence based on the legal premise that all motorists owe those with whom they share the road a duty of care to drive safely. When failing to do so, putting others at risk and causing them harm, these drivers and their insurers can be held financially accountable.
