Highway Accidents in New York
High-speed roadways like US 9 are frequent sites for vehicle collisions due to merging traffic, sudden stops, and varying speed limits. According to the New York State Department of Transportation, many highway accidents result from driver inattention, excessive speed, or unsafe lane changes.
Victims of highway crashes may face financial burdens, including medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and lost wages. New York operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that injured individuals typically file claims with their own insurance providers. However, in cases involving severe injuries, victims may be eligible to pursue additional claims against an at-fault driver.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a highway accident, seeking immediate medical attention and legal guidance is crucial to protecting your rights and ensuring fair compensation.
