Causes of Car Crashes in New York and Resulting Injuries:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that over 32,000 individuals were killed in serious auto accidents and catastrophic collisions in 2013. Thousands more suffered significant injuries. Almost all of these collisions could have been avoided if one or more involved drivers did not:

• Drive while distracted by text messages, phone calls, or other distractions that took the driver’s mind, eyes, and/or body off of the task of driving safely;

• Consume alcohol or drugs before driving. Even prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs can impair a driver and make it dangerous for the driver to get behind the wheel;

• Disregard traffic signs, traffic lights, or traffic control devices;

• Attempt to drive without having first obtained adequate rest; and/or

• Drive aggressively or recklessly.

After your car crash, you may find yourself with:
