How Does the Law View Liability When a Driver With a Medical Condition Causes an Accident?
In many states, an emergency defense can be used to remove liability from someone, specifically those with medical events. If someone is legitimately unaware of a medical condition and cannot react quickly enough to maintain safety, they are unlikely to be liable for an accident.
However, if someone is aware of a medical issue and does not act according to their doctor’s recommendations, they are liable for accidents resulting from the related medical event. Medical professionals can disclose treatment options to amend the issue, tell you to avoid driving, or provide other necessary information.
In cases where the driver with the medical condition is not liable, their insurance company will be responsible for covering damages. If you need more information about how the law determines liability, specifically within your legal circumstances, we can help. Contact an attorney from Hollis Law Firm for support, including determining liability, collecting evidence, and building arguments in your favor.
