Our Practice Areas: How We Can Help Car Accident Victims
Expert Car Accident Attorney in Sullivan County, NY
From Bethel to Monticello, Sullivan County is known for its rich history and beautiful lakes, rivers, and mountain views. While Sullivan County is a beautiful place to live, local roads can present quite a few issues that may increase your risk of being involved in a car accident.
Sullivan County has many challenging roads, many of which are rural and mountainous, and can lead to very hazardous driving conditions. This is especially true during harsh winters (which the county is also notorious for), making the already dangerous roads slippery, difficult to maintain for neighborhood officials, and hard for local drivers to navigate.
In addition to the general condition of local roads, there are quite a few challenging intersections throughout the county that are notorious for causing accidents. Where Frasier Road meets Old Liberty Road in Thompson, for example, was recently the site of a three-car head-on collision that has locals concerned about the difficult-to-navigate intersection.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident in Sullivan County, it’s critical that you don’t wait to seek the advice of a lawyer. No matter the circumstances of the accident or the severity of the injuries, our team is ready to help you seek the justice that you deserve.
