Expert Personal Injury Lawyer in Rockland County
Rockland County is made up of many towns, villages, and hamlets – all that have their own charm and history, from the mountainous views in Nyack to the well-known historic district in Tappan. While Rockland is a beautiful place to live, there are quite a few factors impacting daily life that could lead locals to seek out a personal injury attorney.
Nyack, known for its art and diverse shopping and dining options. Though downtown is relatively flat, many of the streets as you head north towards Noyack College have very steep inclines and bumpy terrains. It can be very difficult to walk/drive up certain roads, especially in bad weather. This can lead to many car and truck accidents, but also slip and fall accidents, due to the elevation in certain parts of the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, Spring Valley has the highest rates of crime compared to other parts of Rockland County, with assaults being one of the most common.
