Highway Accidents in New York
Interstate 84 is a heavily traveled highway, and exit ramps are common sites for accidents due to merging traffic, sudden stops, and visibility issues. Even minor crashes can result in injuries, particularly whiplash, soft tissue damage, or other conditions that may not be immediately noticeable.
Accidents on highway off-ramps often occur due to driver distraction, failure to yield, or poor road conditions. Additionally, heavy traffic congestion in these areas can increase the likelihood of rear-end collisions. Seeking medical attention after any crash is crucial to rule out hidden injuries and begin treatment if necessary.
For individuals injured in motor vehicle accidents, understanding their rights and available resources can be vital to ensuring a smooth recovery process. Medical bills, lost income, and insurance claims can create financial stress, making it important to seek guidance when needed.
