Blauvelt is a quiet suburb in Rockland County, but car accidents still happen on roads like Route 303, Route 340, and the Palisades Parkway. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver on Western Highway or involved in a rear-end crash near Blauvelt State Park, Fellows Hymowitz Rice is here to help.
For over 40 years, we have fought for injured car accident victims, helping them recover maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We know how insurance companies operate and won’t let them take advantage of you.
Blauvelt’s roads see a mix of commuters, commercial vehicles, and local traffic, increasing the risk of accidents. Some of the most common causes of crashes include:
Texting, talking on the phone, using GPS, or adjusting in-car systems can distract a driver from the road. Even a few seconds of distraction can result in a devastating accident.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs slows reaction times and impairs judgment. DUI-related crashes often lead to catastrophic injuries or fatalities.
Speeding drivers have less time to react to traffic conditions, stop signs, and pedestrians. Aggressive driving, such as tailgating or unsafe lane changes, further increases the risk of a serious crash.
For several months out of the year, Blauvelt can get a lot of winter weather that could affect driving. Snow, ice, and heavy rain create dangerous driving conditions, leading to skidding and loss of vehicle control. Potholes and poorly maintained roads also contribute to accidents.
Accidents frequently occur at intersections like Route 303 & Erie Street, where drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or misjudge oncoming traffic. These crashes often lead to severe T-bone or head-on collisions.
Every car crash is unique, but some accidents occur more frequently on the roads and highways of Blauvelt. We handle cases involving:
These crashes are common on busy roads like Route 303, often caused by distracted or aggressive drivers failing to stop in time. Injuries include whiplash, back pain, and spinal cord damage.
Among the most dangerous types of crashes, head-on accidents typically result from drunk driving, drowsy driving, or wrong-way incidents. These collisions often cause fatal or life-altering injuries.
Intersections are hotspots for side-impact crashes, where one vehicle slams into the side of another. Victims in these crashes often suffer broken ribs, internal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
If a driver fled the scene, we can help track them down using surveillance footage, witness testimony, and investigative resources. We'll explore uninsured motorist coverage options if the driver cannot be found.
