New York Car Accident
We would like to extend our sincere sympathies to the known victim of this accident as we certainly hope for his full recovery. While so many car accidents in New York are due to the negligence of a driver, often a negligent manufacturer or other entity is just as liable.
People often have adverse effects due to a medication they have been prescribed, which can lead to a serious accident. Of course, this is only one example, as things such as poor mechanics often lead to motor vehicle accidents that are not the fault of any drivers involved.
