New York Car Accidents
From bustling corridors like Queens Boulevard to the traffic-heavy stretches of the Long Island Expressway, the roads of Queens are constantly alive with motion. But behind the everyday flow of commuters, delivery drivers, and rideshare vehicles lies a troubling truth: serious car accidents are an unfortunate daily reality across the borough.
In neighborhoods like Flushing, Jamaica, Astoria, and beyond, collisions can happen in an instant, leaving drivers and passengers with painful, sometimes life-changing injuries. Victims are often left to deal not only with their physical recovery but also with emotional trauma and financial fallout.
Common injuries in Queens car accidents include:
- Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash, herniated discs, and spinal strain are among the most reported, often requiring physical therapy and time away from work.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: From concussions to long-term cognitive damage, head injuries can seriously affect memory, mood, and daily functioning.
- Broken Bones: The force of a crash can lead to fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or face, sometimes requiring surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
- Spinal Cord Damage: In the most severe cases, these injuries may result in partial or full paralysis, changing a victim’s life forever.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to organs may not be immediately obvious, making prompt medical care essential after any crash.
