Why Intersection Crashes Are So Common – and So Dangerous in New York City
New York City intersections are chaos zones – cars, buses, delivery vans, cyclists, and pedestrians all converging under pressure. According to the NHTSA, nearly 40% of all serious car accidents happen at intersections, and NYC’s dense streets make the risk even higher.
Common causes of intersection accidents in New York City include:
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Unsafe left or right turns across crosswalks
- Failing to yield to pedestrians or cyclists
- Speeding, tailgating, or aggressive merging
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS, or passengers)
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
- Poor lighting, broken traffic signals, or faded markings
These crashes aren’t random – they’re preventable acts of negligence. When careless or reckless driving causes injury, our NYC intersection crash lawyers hold the responsible parties accountable.

Common Intersection Collision Types
Our New York City car accident lawyers handle all types of intersection crashes, including:
- T-bone (side-impact) collisions caused by red-light running
- Left-turn crashes where drivers cut across oncoming lanes
- Rear-end collisions at lights or stop signs
- Head-on crashes from wrong-way or late turns
- Pedestrian and cyclist accidents in marked and unmarked crosswalks
- Multi-vehicle pileups caused by chain reactions at busy junctions
- Commercial vehicle crashes involving taxis, buses, or delivery trucks
Each crash demands a fast, strategic response. Our firm acts immediately to preserve camera footage, analyze impact patterns, and reconstruct the collision before key evidence disappears.
Severe Injuries in NYC Intersection Accidents
Intersection crashes often result in catastrophic injuries that can alter your life permanently. We represent victims suffering from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries, paralysis, or nerve damage
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Amputations or crush injuries
- Burns, scarring, or disfigurement
- PTSD, anxiety, and emotional trauma
Our NYC personal injury attorneys work with top medical experts and economists to calculate the full lifetime impact of your injuries – ensuring no dollar is left on the table.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a New York Intersection Crash
Proving fault in an intersection collision requires speed and precision. We investigate every potential source of liability, including:
- Negligent drivers (cars, trucks, rideshares, taxis, buses)
- Employers of commercial or delivery drivers
- City or state agencies responsible for road design or maintenance
- Contractors or utility crews that left intersections unsafe
- Manufacturers of defective brakes, tires, or signals
Even if you share partial fault, New York’s pure comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation. We fight to minimize your fault percentage – and maximize your recovery.
What Compensation Can Cover
Victims of intersection accidents in NYC may recover compensation for:
Economic Damages:
- Medical bills, hospitalization, and rehabilitation
- Future surgeries or long-term care
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Property damage and replacement costs
Non-Economic Damages:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and PTSD
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
Wrongful Death Claims:
Families of fatal crash victims may recover for:
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income, guidance, and companionship
When conduct is reckless – such as drunk or hit-and-run driving – our lawyers pursue punitive damages to punish and deter future negligence.
Understanding New York’s No-Fault Insurance and Serious Injury Rule
New York’s No-Fault (PIP) coverage pays for initial medical costs and lost wages, regardless of fault. But to pursue a lawsuit for full compensation, your injuries must meet the “serious injury” threshold, such as:
- Fractures
- Significant disfigurement
- Permanent loss or limitation of use
- 90/180 disability rule
- Death
Legal Deadlines:
- 3 years to file a personal injury claim
- 2 years for wrongful death
- 90 days to file a Notice of Claim against NYC or other public entities
Our team handles every step – from No-Fault filings to litigation – so you never miss a critical deadline.
