In areas like Buffalo, winter weather and congested roadways further increase the risk of collisions.
Injury crashes can leave victims facing significant medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle damage. Seeking immediate medical attention after a crash is crucial, even if injuries are not immediately apparent.
