Auto Accidents

The busy city streets of Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan can often seem chaotic and overcrowded, even to life-long residents of New York City. Indeed, despite the best efforts of many conscientious drivers and pedestrians, car, motorcycle and truck wrecks are all too common.  With major thoroughfares like I-495 and I-278 (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, BQE) cutting through the heart of the boroughs as well as busy urban intersections like those along Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, 63^rd and Queens Blvd. in Queens and East 33^rd and Park Avenue in Manhattan, just getting around the city can sometimes be a challenge in and of itself.

Statistics from the state's Department of Motor Vehicles say there were over 300,000 vehicle accidents in New York in 2007. Of those, nearly 140,000 caused injuries to the people involved and almost 185,000 resulted in damages to property.  Though the numbers of pedestrians killed by cars and trucks has been declining in recent years, the city can also be dangerous by foot.

New York City's most dangerous roads for pedestrians in 2007 included:

·        Third Avenue, Manhattan (10 fatalities)

·        Broadway, Manhattan (10 fatalities)

·        Grand Central Parkway, Queens (9 fatalities)

·        Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island (9 fatalities)

·        Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn (8 fatalities)
