Interstate Ramp Collisions in New York
Interchanges and on/off-ramps are high-risk locations for vehicle collisions, as drivers must navigate merging traffic, speed changes, and lane shifts. According to the New York State Department of Transportation, many crashes at interchanges result from driver inattention, failure to yield, or excessive speed.
Victims of highway ramp accidents often face significant challenges, including medical expenses, vehicle damage, and lost wages. New York follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning that injured drivers and passengers typically file claims with their own insurance providers. However, in cases involving serious injuries, victims may be able to pursue additional claims against an at-fault driver.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a highway ramp accident, seeking medical care and legal guidance is crucial to protecting your rights and ensuring fair compensation.
