You may have heard about an apology program for doctors in medical malpractice cases.

You should know that there is no corresponding apology program for careless drivers here in New York.

Imagine this scenario...

You were in a terrible car crash and are now in the hospital recuperating from having emergency surgery and casts on both of your legs.

In walks the careless driver to your room!

He comes in to apologize.
You don't know what to say.
You don't know what to do.

You are angry.
You are frustrated.
You feel helpless.

The top all that off, this guy walks in out of the blue, tells you he was the driver who caused your accident and then apologizes to you for what happened.

Once he apologizes, does that mean you can no longer bring a lawsuit seeking compensation for all the harms and injuries he caused?

Is there anything that will prevent you from proceeding forward with a lawsuit against the negligent driver who is now sitting in your room apologizing?

The answer is that even if a careless driver apologizes, you are still able to bring a lawsuit in NY seeking full compensation for all of your injuries.

Can you use the driver's “apology” as proof that he admitted he was negligent and careless?

The answer is that it depends on a number of factors.

In some cases you can use it and in others you cannot.
A defense attorney would try and show that this apology was nothing more than a human being coming in to apologize for what happened than not admit legal responsibility.
