Car Accidents in New York

Motor vehicle accidents are a frequent concern across New York, especially in cities like Buffalo. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, there were more than 300,000 motor vehicle crashes reported statewide in a single year. These crashes resulted in tens of thousands of injuries, and a significant portion occurred in urban areas.

When it comes to car accidents, one major concern for victims is understanding the types of compensation they may be entitled to:

• Medical Expenses: Victims can recover the costs of hospital visits, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and follow-up appointments. These bills can add up quickly, especially when treatment is ongoing.
• Lost Wages: If an injury prevents someone from working, either temporarily or permanently, they can seek compensation for their lost income. This includes not only immediate time off but also any long-term impact on future earning potential.
• Pain and Suffering: Emotional and physical distress caused by an accident may qualify for compensation. This includes ongoing pain, reduced quality of life, and mental anguish tied to the injury.
• Property Damage: Vehicles and other personal belongings damaged in the crash can often be repaired or replaced through a claim. Accurate documentation helps strengthen this part of a case.
• Loss of Consortium: In serious cases, family members of the injured may seek compensation for loss of companionship or household support, especially when the injury disrupts family life.
• Rehabilitation and Future Care Needs: Some injuries require long-term therapy or home modifications. These future expenses should be factored into any settlement or judgment.
