Car Accidents in New York

Car accidents in New York occur daily and impact thousands of families each year. Data from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles shows tens of thousands of injury-causing crashes across the state annually. Many of these incidents are preventable and tied to distracted driving, speeding, impaired operation, and weather conditions. Understanding the risks and aftermath of such incidents helps highlight why proper support is so critical after a collision.

Accidents often lead to life-altering consequences. Here are some common injuries that victims may face:

Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These injuries are especially common in rear-end accidents. The sudden jolt causes the neck to snap forward and back, leading to soft tissue damage, chronic pain, and in some cases, nerve injuries. Recovery can take weeks or months, depending on severity.
Concussions and Head Injuries: Even with airbags, the head can strike the steering wheel or window. A concussion may result in memory issues, dizziness, or headaches. Severe trauma can cause long-term cognitive problems and changes in mood or behavior.
Back and Spinal Cord Trauma: The force of a crash can lead to slipped discs, fractured vertebrae, or spinal cord injuries. In the most severe cases, victims face permanent mobility loss. These injuries often require extensive rehabilitation or even surgery.
Internal Bleeding: Blunt trauma may damage internal organs without visible wounds. Symptoms may not show immediately, but can be life-threatening if untreated. Rapid medical assessment is critical.
Broken Bones and Fractures: Broken ribs, arms, and legs are frequent outcomes of collisions. While treatable, they often sideline victims from work and daily life during recovery, impacting their financial stability.
