Backover or Driveway Accident?

Backover accidents aren’t the first that come to mind when we think of car accidents, however, they can prove just as deadly. Here’s what you need to know about backover or driveway accidents, who’s at risk, and how a lawyer can help if you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a driver’s negligence.

What Is a Backover Accident?

A backover accident is when an individual strikes another person while in the process of backing out of a driveway or parking spot. While driving in reverse, there can be additional blind spots that make it more difficult to see.
For example, if you are driving a pickup truck, while you can use the rearview mirror to see behind you, you still cannot see items that are about 3 feet tall or shorter unless they are further behind the vehicle. This blind zone makes it hard to notice young children who may be close to a vehicle.

Who Is Most At Risk for a Backover Accident?

Elderly Floridians are also at higher risk for backover accidents because of their limited mobility.

Determining Fault in a Backover Accident

Not all backover accidents are the fault of the driver. An accident can be caused by a vehicle malfunction or it can truly be an accident, as when a child unknowingly shifts an idling vehicle into gear or runs behind a moving vehicle.
