An overnight tractor-trailer crash on the Hutchinson River Parkway in Scarsdale serves as another reminder of how quickly serious accidents can occur on one of Westchester County’s busiest commuter routes. According to authorities, the collision happened shortly after 11:00 p.m. near Exit 12 when a southbound tractor-trailer struck the Mamaroneck Road bridge. The crash temporarily shut down portions of the roadway while emergency crews responded and worked to safely reopen traffic.

Most people think a not-at-fault crash is simple. The other driver caused it, so their insurance pays, right? In New York, that's not how it starts. State law makes you file with your own insurance company first, no matter who hit you. Get that part wrong, and you can...

Fault in a New York car accident is decided by matching the evidence against the state's traffic laws to give each driver a share of the blame, written as a percentage. That percentage starts as an insurance adjuster's opinion, can be argued in arbitration between...

Tailgating may seem like a minor driving mistake, but following another vehicle too closely is one of the leading causes of serious rear-end collisions throughout Westchester County and New York City. Whether you’re traveling on I-287, the Hutchinson River Parkway, the Bronx River Parkway, the Saw Mill River Parkway, the Cross Bronx Expressway, or local roads in White Plains, Yonkers, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, tailgating can turn an ordinary commute into a life-changing crash.

A recent partial roadway collapse along the southbound Saw Mill River Parkway near Hastings-on-Hudson serves as an important reminder that not every motor vehicle accident is caused by another driver’s negligence. Sometimes, dangerous road conditions, aging infrastructure, poor drainage systems, and severe weather can create life-threatening hazards for unsuspecting motorists.

You were in a crash. You did everything right. You called the police, gave your statement, and now you're waiting for the official report so you can move forward with your insurance and your life. And waiting. And waiting. Days turn into weeks. You check the system...

You opened your accident claim, scanned the notes, and there it was: "left roadway." Two words you never expected to see, and now your stomach drops because it sounds like the insurer is blaming you. Take a breath. That phrase probably doesn't mean what you think, and...

Distracted driving continues to be one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents throughout Westchester County and New York City. Despite widespread awareness of the dangers, many drivers still glance at text messages, check notifications, browse social media, or interact with their phones while behind the wheel. These seemingly harmless actions can have devastating consequences.

Summer in New York brings heavy traffic, rising temperatures, and an often-overlooked danger: heat-related illnesses behind the wheel. While most drivers focus on distracted driving, speeding, or impaired driving, extreme heat can affect a driver’s judgment, reaction time, concentration, and physical ability to operate a vehicle safely.
