What Steps You Should Take After A Car Accident In New York City?
When you’ve been hurt in an accident in New York City, you need to take certain immediate actions to give yourself the best chance at a financial recovery. You should:
- Seek immediate medical treatment: This begins the paper trail for your case, but also check for serious injuries that may not be immediately apparent.
- Take pictures of the crash: When you’re stable, getting photo evidence of the crash and the scene may be essential.
- File a police report: Police reports – by law – must be filed after every car accident where there is significant property damage or injuries.
- Say as little to insurance as possible: You will have to file an insurance claim, but decline to answer their questions as much as you can.
- Call us: We have experience communicating with insurers that lets us dictate how much info they need and deserve.
Most Dangerous Roads And Intersections In New York City
It’s a general truth that all the most dangerous roads in a place are also the most dangerous, and that is certainly true in New York City. As one of the most densely populated areas in the country, high-traffic and high-speed areas can be a recipe for disaster. Here is a list of where these problems happen most often:
- FDR Drive
- Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE)
- Cross Bronx Expressway
- Long Island Expressway (LIE)
- West Side Highway
- Broadway
- 5th Avenue
All of these roads are among the most trafficked in the city. They run in populated areas and along highways. Mistakes by any driver can lead to pain and suffering for you and your family. But we can help.
