New York City Car Accident FAQ

Q: How Common Are Intersection Collisions in NYC?

A: Intersection collisions are very common, and often, those involved sustain very severe injuries, as side-impact crashes leave little room for protection outside of the car door.

Q: Should I Avoid Social Media After a Car Accident in NYC?

A: Absolutely. Avoiding social media after you’ve sustained an injury in a car accident is paramount. Insurance companies will be watching your social media accounts to see if you post anything they can use against you to disprove your claim. Don’t make this mistake.

Q: What Pictures Should I Take After a Car Accident?

A: After a car accident, you should make it a point to take several pictures, including those of your injuries, damage to vehicles, damage to property, and anything else relevant to your accident or its aftermath.

Q: What Should I Do if I Was Hurt in a Hit & Run Car Accident?

A: If you are hurt in a hit & run accident, you should call the police at once and speak with a competent attorney. Both an attorney and law enforcement can try to track the individual down who caused your injuries and hold him or her responsible.

Q: How Long Do I Have to Sue a Driver for an Accident in NYC?

A: In most cases, the statute of limitations is three years, but you should never wait this long to sue. Instead, reach out to a lawyer as soon as you’ve received medical treatment for your injuries.
