Vehicle Examining As a general rule inspections for vehicles should be conducted every year. Certain vehicles, for instance private-label vehicles or those with inspection stickers that are expired, may require periodic inspections. In certain situations, like when a New York resident moves and requires a change of address, it is mandatory that the vehicle be examined prior to issuance of new stickers. The inspector will verify a few details, such as the model and make of the vehicle and its registration date, odometer reading and so on. The inspectors then start to look at the vehicle itself, starting with the obvious areas such as the mirrors, the windshields, the lights and the horn. There are numerous checklists that ensure a thorough inspection has been completed, including the inspection of things like rust and suspension parts. Drivers are expected to remain alert on the road and keep an eye out for pedestrians, other drivers and other potential hazards. Failure to do so can be considered negligence. A driver must also maintain control at all times. A vehicle with a defect could cause a loss in control over the vehicle which could result in serious injuries. The manufacturer of a vehicle may be held liable for the accident when it was caused by an automobile defect or component part. Parts or Components with Defective Components In order for a vehicle to function effectively, thousands of tiny mechanical and electrical parts must work together. When one of these components fails, the results can be catastrophic. These incidents are typically the result of manufacturing faults or other issues with the construction or design a certain part. If a car part that is defective is the cause of an accident, the responsible party may be liable to compensate the victims of the crash for their injuries. Many people think that all auto accidents happen because of human error. While the majority of car accidents result from driver error, there are other factors which can cause a crash like road conditions and deficient auto parts. Defective auto parts include brakes and airbags, seatbelts and tires or any other device that could fail to function as designed, leading to an accident. Sometimes, these defects result from aftermarket enhancements that were not designed with the same level of care as the initial parts on the vehicle. Sometimes, the issue is present in the original design of a piece. Manufacturers are required to make vehicles that meet minimum safety standards. If a vehicle, or any parts of it, was not built or designed to these specifications the manufacturer is liable for any damages that result from an accident caused by a defect in the part. Insurance Coverage In most states, motorists are required to carry insurance if their negligence or misconduct causes harm to other drivers. Liability insurance covers bodily injury liability and property damage liability. The bodily injury liability covers your medical expenses as well as those of other people injured by your car in an accident up to the policy limit. Typically, there is an individual limit for each person injured and a unified limit for the total amount of property damage. Some insurance companies offer optional policies that have greater limits for these types of damages. Property damage insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged by an event other than a collision with a vehicle or object, like windstorm, fire, theft and the impact of a deer. It can also cover damage that is caused by driving through potholes. This type of insurance is required in New York and some other states. In many states the uninsured or underinsured driver insurance (UM/UIM) is a requirement. However, certain states only require it if the driver at fault does not have insurance. This coverage will reimburse you or your passengers for medical and property losses when the driver at fault has no insurance, is underinsured or is involved in a hit-and run crash.
