New York Traffic Collisions
From the busy Bronx River Parkway to the congested lanes of the Major Deegan Expressway and Bruckner Boulevard, traffic in the Bronx is constant—and unfortunately, so are serious car accidents. In neighborhoods like Fordham, Mott Haven, and Kingsbridge, where residential and commercial areas collide with heavy traffic, crashes causing injuries happen all too often.
What starts as an ordinary trip can quickly turn into a life-changing ordeal. Those injured in Bronx car accidents often face not only physical pain and emotional turmoil but also overwhelming medical expenses. Time off work, limited mobility, and frustrating disputes with insurance companies add to the hardship.
