Catastrophic Collisions

Catastrophic automobile collisions happen every single day in the Bronx. According to 2008 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, more than 1,200 fatalities and thousands more injuries occurred as a result of vehicle accidents in New York State. When an automobile weighing thousands of pounds collides with another car, a fixed object, or a person, the results can be truly devastating. Some of the worst Bronx accidents occur on our busy highways, including the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Major Deegan Expressway, the Henry Hudson Parkway, the Hutchinson River Parkway and the New England Thruway. Those wrecks can produce some of the most severe injuries, including:

• Death;
• Loss of limbs;
• Traumatic brain injury and closed head injuries;
• Spinal trauma;
• Organ damage or failure;
• Severe scarring;

If you have been hurt in a catastrophic collision, you may face extensive medical treatment and therapy, which can be extremely costly. Many injuries require lengthy courses of treatment, lasting for months or even years, and victims are often left to fight with insurance companies over payment. Even if your physical wounds heal, the emotional trauma of a terrible accident can be equally challenging. Difficulty resuming normal tasks, especially those involving driving, can keep you from getting your life back on track.

The deadliest accidents produce injuries that are truly unrecoverable, with the loss of a life. Both survivors and victims may suffer long after the trip to the emergency room. Battling with reluctant insurers only compounds the problem and it may keep you from receiving the care you or your loved ones need to move forward. The injuries that follow a dangerous car accident are already bad enough; they don't need to be worsened by inadequate care or a settlement that leaves you choosing between paying the mortgage and paying for treatment.
