Expert Crime Victim Lawyer in Dutchess County, NY
Dutchess County is popularly thought of for its scenic views of the Hudson River and Taconic Mountains and for its rich local history, both which make it a very desirable place to live. However, this does not mean that residents won’t find themselves falling victim to a crime in the area that could lead them to needing to seek the guidance of a personal injury lawyer.
Poughkeepsie has the highest crime rate in the county, likely due to its population that is far more dense than many of the surrounding, more-rural areas, like Pawling or Pine Plains. Urban hubs like this tend to have a higher amount of assaults and domestic incidents.
Dutchess County is also the home to several different college campuses – Marist College and Vassar College, to just name a few. College campuses often see an increased rate of events like assault from hazing, alcohol-related injuries, and sexual assaults. Students, faculty, and even visitors or residents close to campus can find themselves being victims of these crimes.
