Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving so dangerous at intersections?
A driver looking at a phone or otherwise not watching the road can miss a signal change or oncoming cross traffic, which is often how two vehicles end up colliding at an intersection.
How do road and weather conditions play into intersection crashes?
Wet pavement, poor visibility, or glare can delay a driver's reaction time or stopping distance, making it harder to avoid a crash when another vehicle enters the intersection unexpectedly.
What to Do After a Car Accident in North Tonawanda, NY
If you're involved in a crash in North Tonawanda, start by making sure everyone is safe and calling for help. Even if you feel fine, some injuries, like whiplash or internal bruising, don't show symptoms right away, so a medical evaluation is a good idea. Make sure to keep a copy of the police report and any photos you took, and follow up with your own doctor if new symptoms appear in the days after. Reporting the crash to your insurer promptly, and keeping records of any missed work or medical visits, can make things easier down the road.
