Traffic congestion and busy intersections in White Plains create high-risk conditions for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Understanding the most common causes of accidents can help establish liability and build a strong injury claim.
Texting, phone calls, GPS navigation, and other distractions take a driver’s focus off the road. Even a few seconds of inattention can lead to devastating consequences.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the leading causes of fatal crashes. White Plains has seen an increase in DUI-related incidents, particularly near bars, restaurants, and event venues.
Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of injuries in a crash. Aggressive maneuvers like tailgating, weaving between lanes, and running red lights frequently lead to accidents in busy areas.
Snow, ice, and rain create slippery road conditions, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Poor visibility and hydroplaning make winter driving in White Plains particularly hazardous.
White Plains is home to heavily traveled intersections where drivers often fail to yield to pedestrians or misjudge oncoming traffic, leading to dangerous side-impact collisions.
Each car accident presents unique challenges, from proving liability to dealing with insurance claims. Our firm has extensive experience handling:
Frequent in stop-and-go traffic, these crashes often result in whiplash, spinal injuries, and chronic pain. Distracted and impatient drivers are common culprits.
Among the most deadly types of crashes, head-on collisions often occur due to drunk driving, fatigue, or lane departures. Victims can suffer catastrophic injuries, including brain trauma and internal damage.
Common at busy intersections like Mamaroneck Avenue and Main Street, these side-impact crashes can cause broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and fatalities.
Drivers fleeing the scene leave victims without immediate recourse, but our legal team can help identify at-fault parties using surveillance footage and investigative resources.

The many types of insurance policies that could come into play need knowledgeable and skilled attorneys to navigate and win the most coverage for your damages. Without our attorneys fighting for you, the insurance companies would try to take advantage of you.
