Car Accident Lawyers

Here are some of the most common accident injury lawsuits our attorneys handle in Newburgh:

• Head-On Collisions: Result from two vehicles colliding front-to-front, often on highways. These accidents usually cause severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries from the direct force.

• Rear-End Collisions: Occur when one vehicle hits the back of another, often at traffic lights or stop signs. Common injuries include whiplash, neck pain, and back injuries due to the sudden jolt.

• T-Bone Accidents: Happen when a vehicle is struck on the side, usually at intersections. This impact can cause fractures, internal injuries, and head trauma due to the side impact.

• Sideswipe Accidents: Occur when two vehicles brush against each other, often while changing lanes. They can lead to soft tissue injuries, cuts, and bruises from the scraping impact.

• Multi-Vehicle Pileups: Happen on busy roads where multiple vehicles collide. These accidents often result in whiplash, fractures, and severe trauma due to multiple impacts.

• Hit and Run Accidents: Involve a driver leaving the scene after causing an accident. Injuries vary widely but can include broken bones, head injuries, and internal injuries due to the lack of immediate medical attention.

• Pedestrian Accidents: Occur when a vehicle strikes a person walking or crossing the street. These typically result in serious injuries like fractures, head trauma, and spinal injuries due to the direct hit.

• Motorcycle Accidents: Happen when a motorcycle is involved in a collision, often with a larger vehicle. These often cause severe injuries such as road rash, fractures, and head injuries due to the lack of protection for the rider.
