Ohio motor vehicle accident attorney, Scott Kuboff, discusses a driver’s duty to exercise care and caution when putting a vehicle in reverse.

Revised Code RC 4511.38(A) provides: "[n]o person shall start a vehicle ... which is stopped, standing, or parked until such movement can be made with reasonable safety. Before backing, operators of vehicle ... shall give ample warning, and while backing they shall exercise vigilance not to injure person or property on the street or highway. No person shall back a motor vehicle on a freeway, except: in a rest area; in the performance of public works or official duties; as a result of an emergency caused by an accident or breakdown of a motor vehicle."

If you have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle collision, please contact Scott for a no cost, no obligation consultation and case evaluation.
