Residential Street Accidents in Queens
Rosedale, a residential neighborhood in Queens, sees frequent vehicle traffic due to its mix of local commuters and proximity to major roadways. While many think of highways as high-risk areas for crashes, residential intersections such as 145th Ave and 249th St also pose significant dangers.
Common causes of accidents in residential areas include speeding, failure to stop at stop signs, and distracted driving. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) reports that a large portion of vehicle collisions occur in neighborhoods where drivers may not be as cautious, assuming lower traffic volumes make conditions safer.
Even at lower speeds, collisions in residential areas can result in injuries that require medical attention, leading to unexpected medical costs and financial burdens for victims. Those injured in crashes caused by negligent driving may have the right to seek compensation for their damages, including medical expenses and lost income.
