Accidents involving emergency vehicles can be complex yet are not uncommon on New York’s bustling streets. If you find yourself in an accident, determining liability can feel like navigating a legal maze. In New York, although emergency vehicles are granted certain privileges in traffic, they are not exempt from the duty of care. The key to proving liability lies in demonstrating that the emergency vehicle operator acted negligently or recklessly, failing to uphold the required standard of care.

Emergency vehicles are granted certain privileges like proceeding through red lights or exceeding speed limits, provided they exercise due regard for the safety of all road users.
