New York Auto Accident Lawyer David Perecman Discusses Two-Car Crash Involving Former Pittsburgh Steelers Coach Bill Cowher
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 03, 2013 -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher was involved in a two-car traffic accident in New York City. Both Cowher and the woman driving the other car said they had the green light, reported the LA Times (6.25.13). New York auto accident lawyer David Perecman understands that accidents with both drivers insisting they had the right of way are common.
“The one thing that is always certain in these cases is that one of the drivers is wrong, and ran the red light,” said Perecman.
According to the LA Times, Cowher is believed have been heading north on Park Avenue when his Mercedes hit a Ford Fusion that was making a left turn on East 92nd street. After it was hit, the Fusion ran into construction scaffolding, sending construction debris crashing to the ground.
No one was injured, but the car hit by the current CBS football analyst “was seriously messed up,” reported the LA Times.
“Determining who is at fault at the scene of a traffic accident requires thorough investigation, including statements from witness and the collection of other evidence, to determine who is at fault for the accident,” said Perecman.
If both drivers claim to have had the green light, it becomes more difficult to resolve who is a fault. It becomes a “he said she said” type situation which is why after an accident one should talk to an auto accident attorney to help locate and preserve evidence.
The LA Times article cited is “Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher is fine after car accident.”
