Injury SUV Accidents in Queens: An Ongoing Challenge
Queens has seen a rise in SUV-related traffic accidents, with many leading to serious injuries. Areas like Woodside, Jackson Heights, and Long Island City reported several such incidents in 2023. These accidents are often more severe due to the size and impact force of SUVs, with rear-end and side-impact collisions being the most common.
The increase in these accidents is tied to the growing popularity of SUVs. Despite efforts by the New York Police Department to promote safe driving, factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and poor weather continue to pose risks. As a result, road safety remains a critical concern in the borough.
Victims of SUV accidents may be eligible for compensation, including medical expenses and lost wages. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer can help ensure that those affected receive the compensation they deserve.
