Highway Accidents in New York
High-speed roadways like the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway pose significant risks for drivers, especially during peak traffic hours. Crashes on highways often involve multiple vehicles and can result from aggressive lane changes, driver inattention, or poor weather conditions. Rear-end collisions and side-swipe accidents are common, particularly near entrance and exit ramps like Exit 32.
Under New York’s no-fault insurance system, injured drivers and passengers typically seek compensation for medical expenses and lost wages through their own insurance policies. However, in cases involving serious injuries, victims may have legal options to pursue additional compensation beyond no-fault benefits. Seeking legal guidance can help those affected understand their rights and potential claims.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a highway accident, seeking medical attention and documenting the details of the crash are crucial steps.
