Crashes involving two vehicles, such as the one at Fillmore Ave and Clinton St, are among the most common types of roadway accidents in Buffalo. These collisions can result in a variety of injuries, ranging from minor to severe, depending on the impact and the safety features of the vehicles involved.

According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, Buffalo consistently records thousands of crashes each year, with many occurring at busy intersections like Clinton St. Common causes include failure to yield, distracted driving, and speeding.

Victims of two-car collisions often face medical expenses, vehicle repair costs, and emotional distress. New York law provides injured parties the right to seek compensation for damages, including hospital bills and lost income. However, victims should be cautious when dealing with insurance companies, as quick settlement offers may not fully cover long-term needs.
