Causes of New York Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the nation’s greatest, yet least-discussed, epidemics. Indeed, more people under the age of 34 die in fatal car accidents than from any other cause. In any given five-year period, approximately 25% of the drivers on the road are involved in car crashes. Tragically, most car accidents could have been prevented if not for the negligence of one of the drivers involved. Car accidents in NYC and throughout New York can be especially devastating due to the city’s heavily congested roads.
