New York Car Crashes
Navigating New York City’s streets—from the bustling avenues of Manhattan to the residential roads of Staten Island and the busy expressways like the BQE and FDR Drive—can be risky for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Each year, thousands of New Yorkers are hurt in car accidents that often leave lasting physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
Crashes on crowded thoroughfares like Broadway, Queens Boulevard, or the Long Island Expressway can result in serious injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, and soft tissue damage. Victims frequently face extensive medical treatment, lost income, and long recovery periods, adding stress to an already challenging situation.
Many of these accidents are preventable. Speeding, distracted driving, running traffic signals, and impaired operation are common factors in serious collisions. Other contributing elements include poor road conditions, unclear signage, and inexperienced drivers navigating complex city traffic.
