Highway Accidents in New York
Highways such as Grand Central Parkway see heavy traffic daily, increasing the risk of collisions. Factors like congestion, high speeds, and sudden lane changes contribute to crashes, often resulting in injuries that require medical attention.
Accidents on major roadways can be especially dangerous due to the speed and volume of vehicles involved. Even minor crashes can lead to chain-reaction incidents, causing additional risks to other motorists. Seeking medical care after an accident is critical, as some injuries—such as whiplash or internal trauma—may not be immediately apparent.
New York’s no-fault insurance laws typically require injured drivers and passengers to seek compensation through their own insurance providers. However, in cases involving serious injuries, victims may be able to pursue additional claims to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
