While some are relatively minor, thousands of lives are taken every year by these horrible accidents. Because your own life can be at risk if you drive in an unsafe manner, it is so important to drive carefully and follow all traffic laws.

However, just because you are careful does not mean that you can assure that all other drivers on the road will do the same thing. If you are in a New Haven auto accident, it may not be your fault, and you should not be held responsible for the damages caused by the mistakes of other drivers.
