Distracted Driving Accidents in New York
It is your responsibility as a motorist to keep your focus on the road. Unfortunately, with the increasing usage of smartphones and other mobile devices in the United States, what should be a simple task is turning into nearly impossible. The roads in New York are among the most dangerous when it comes to driver distraction, and its residents have a reputation for driving carelessly. The state is the eighth worst in the country for distracted driving-related collisions. Distracted driving was linked to 563 out of 4,785 road deaths in the state between 2017 and 2021, or almost 13 percent of all traffic fatalities. Drivers who fail to pay attention to the road should be held responsible for their conduct in the event of a serious auto accident.
