Car Accidents in New York

New York consistently sees high volumes of vehicle accidents each year, with over 300,000 crashes reported annually. Many of these collisions result in injuries that can range from minor to life-altering. Urban areas in particular tend to experience more crashes due to traffic congestion, distracted driving, and frequent intersections.

It’s important to understand how car accidents affect victims physically, emotionally, and financially. Below are a few common outcomes related to these incidents:

• Lost Income: After a serious injury, missing work for days or even weeks is common. Some victims are forced to take unpaid leave, while others may not return to work at all. This interruption in income creates a significant burden, especially when household expenses continue to accumulate.
• Chronic Pain and Mobility Issues: Injuries like whiplash, herniated discs, or broken bones can lead to lasting pain and difficulty with movement. These physical limitations often interfere with daily tasks, recreational activities, or the ability to care for children or aging family members.
• Emotional Distress: Anxiety, PTSD, and depression are frequently experienced after a traumatic crash. The psychological toll can be just as debilitating as physical injuries, and many people require ongoing therapy or support to heal emotionally.
• Long-Term Medical Expenses: Medical bills extend far beyond the emergency room. Victims may need months of follow-up care, including surgeries, physical therapy, and prescriptions. Without sufficient compensation, these costs become overwhelming.
