Hit-and-Run Collisions in New York
Hit-and-run accidents, like the one reported in Blissville, are a troubling issue in New York City. These incidents not only leave victims physically injured but also create emotional and financial hardships as they navigate recovery without immediate accountability from the at-fault party.
