Bronx, NY (October 12, 2026) – Seven people were taken to hospitals after a multi-vehicle crash outside the Marina Del Rey event venue at 1 Marina Drive in Throggs Neck early Monday morning.
According to reports, the crash was called in around 1:35 a.m. on Monday, October 12. Emergency crews arriving at the waterfront property found several damaged vehicles, including a black Honda pickup with part of its bumper torn off, a second dark-colored car with heavy rear-end damage, and a white SUV whose hood had caved in. The SUV was later towed from the scene.
Authorities said seven people were transported to area hospitals. One person was listed in critical condition and another in serious condition, while five others were treated for injuries described as minor. Police told reporters they did not yet have details on what led to the collision, and the cause remains under investigation. No one involved has been publicly identified.
We hope those injured are able to make a full recovery.
What New York Law Says About Compensation After a Car Crash
New York is a no-fault state, so a driver’s or passenger’s own insurance pays the first round of medical bills and lost earnings through Personal Injury Protection, regardless of who caused the crash. That coverage has limits. When a crash causes a “serious injury” as defined by Insurance Law §5102(d), a category that includes fractures, significant disfigurement, and permanent loss of a body function, an injured person can step outside the no-fault system and bring a claim directly against the at-fault driver.
Such a claim turns on negligence: showing that another driver failed to use reasonable care and that the failure caused the harm. A person hurt in a collision like this one generally has three years from the date of the crash to file suit under CPLR §214. An experienced NYC car accident lawyer can preserve evidence early, request any surveillance footage or vehicle data from the scene, and put a realistic value on the case. Compensation in a New York crash claim usually falls into two categories:
- Economic Compensation: Covers measurable financial losses such as hospital bills, ongoing medical treatment, physical therapy, lost wages, and reduced future earning capacity.
- Non-Economic Compensation: Accounts for less tangible impacts like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
For someone in critical or serious condition, those costs climb fast, and insurers often move early to cap what they pay. An independent review of the claim before signing anything protects the full value of a recovery.
