Hit-and-Run Accidents in New York
Hit-and-run crashes, like the one on Grand Central Parkway, are particularly dangerous because victims are often left without immediate assistance. These accidents can result from reckless driving, distracted driving, or drivers fleeing due to legal issues such as suspended licenses or intoxication.
New York law imposes severe penalties on drivers who leave the scene of an accident involving injuries. Victims of hit-and-run crashes may face challenges in securing compensation, particularly if the at-fault driver is not identified. However, uninsured motorist coverage can often provide financial assistance for medical expenses and vehicle damage.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, seeking legal guidance can help you understand your options and ensure you receive the support you need.
