RV Accident Attorney in Elmhurst, NY Fights to Recover Full Compensation for Accident Victims in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Throughout Long Island 

The popularity of recreational vehicles, or RVs, has increased in the past few years. Many people are investing in these vehicles not just for recreational purposes but also as a place to live as they travel from place to place for work or other reasons. Some even live in these vehicles for the long term. These vehicles come in various designs. There are those that are self-propelled. This means that they are complete vehicles with an engine of their own. These are similar to large buses or vans. There are those RVs that are in the form of a trailer and need to be attached to another vehicle in order to be moved from place to place. Both types of RVs present many risks when on the road because of their size and weight. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, accidents involving these vehicles were responsible for injuries in 75,000 people in 2012 only.

RV’s are more dangerous to operate than regular motor vehicles. This is large because of their size. towable or trailer RVs present even more risks because of the trailer. Accidents involving RV are often the result of: 

  • Blind spots – RVs are large. They, therefore, have larger blind spots than other vehicles. It is easy to be involved in an accident when you don’t have a clear view of the area around your vehicle. 
  • Driving while fatigued 
  • Poor loading practices including overloading or improperly balanced loads 
  • Equipment failure 
  • Turning at high speeds 
  • The inexperience of the driver 
  • Poor maintenance practices or lack of maintenance 
  • Speeding 
  • Runaway trailers 
  • Tire blowouts due to wear and tear, overloading, under-inflation, or over inflation 
  • Poor road conditions 
  • Poor weather conditions 
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol 
  • Aggressive driving 
  • Lack of maneuverability

Frequently Asked Questions about Recreational Vehicle Accidents in Long Island 

What are some complications that can arise from RV Accident insurance claims? 

Insurance for RVs can be quite complex. The law in New York requires self-propelled RVs to be insured. However, the case is different for a towed RV. Towed RVs are usually covered under the driver’s regular automobile insurance. This, however, is only the case when the RV trailer is listed on the declarations page. In addition, some insurance providers will not cover towed RVs. There are others that will only provide partial cover for the towed RV. Unfortunately, many drivers believe that their towed RVs are covered under their insurance. When they are involved in an accident, they soon find out that their insurance does not extend coverage to the RV.

These are just a few of the complications that can arise when seeking compensation for an accident involving an RV. An experienced Long Island recreational vehicle accident lawyer from the Harrison Law Group, P.C. can help you navigate these and other complications that may arise. We will fight to recover maximum compensation on your behalf.

Who can I hold liable for an RV accident?

This depends on the circumstances of the accident. It depends on what or who caused the accident. Some of the parties that are often held liable in RV accidents include: 

1. Drivers 
2. The RV retailer 
3. The RV manufacturer 
4. Manufacturers of defective parts 
5. Government agencies in charge of maintaining roads
