If traffic lights are present but are not working (power failure) drivers are SUPPOSED to treat each intersection as if there is an all-directions stop sign. They rarely do that.
What should you do if a traffic light is not working?
If the traffic lights are not working, the intersection is treated like a 4-way stop. That is, as if everyone has a stop sign.

Can you sue the New York City Marshal's Office for a motor vehicle accident?
It doesn't matter if who hits you or for what reason (speeding police car) they are responsible for the repairs on your car if they were at fault. Treat this matter as if it were any normal person that hit you. There is no need to sue. The Q didn't say why NYC Marshal's Office is involved. If the marshal was directing traffic and caused the accident, then the city may be liable for damages and injuries caused by his or her actions. If the marshal was driving a vehicle involved in a collision, then there are numerous other questions of liability; for instance were emergency lights and siren working; did the other driver fail to properly yield to an emergency vehicle; was it at an intersection or elsewhere; what kind of intersection and did the marshal stop before proceeding? If the marshal were running after a suspect and caused a collision by running into traffic, then there may be a justification and the marshal will not be found liable.
What happens when you get into a car accident and the traffic signal lights werent working?
If you can prove that the lights were not working at the time of the collision, the "owner" may also have some liability IF it contributed to the cause of the collision. In CA when the lights are not working it becomes a "stop sign" and drivers are required to stop until safe to cross. by way of example if the driver did not stop and was involved involved in a crash as a result... there may not be much liability on the signal "owner" This is where hiring a collision reconstructionist such as myself may be helpful to review your case and help you determine your options

If you have an accident after working to long would that be a work related health and safety problem for work?
It depends. Were you at work when the accident occurred? And were you working to long because you were not allowed to take a break? If you were working to long and decided not to stop and take a break then it's you fault. If you were not at work on the clock when the accident happened than it's your fault.
