Car Accidents in New York
New York City’s congested roads contribute to a high number of vehicle collisions each year, particularly at busy intersections such as Woodhaven Blvd and Eliot Ave in Queens. These types of accidents can occur due to distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or other traffic violations.
In New York, accident victims may have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, since New York follows a no-fault insurance system, securing fair compensation can be complicated. Serious injuries that exceed no-fault coverage limits may require filing a legal claim against the at-fault driver.
For those hurt in an accident, knowing their rights is essential. Seeking medical attention and documenting the incident can help support any necessary legal or insurance claims.
