A man was killed in a snowmobile accident in Lewis County on December 29. According to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, the victim of the snowmobile accident that happened in the Town of West Turin, New York, was identified as thirty-two-year-old Jason Norfolk from Jordan, New York. 

The deputies reported that Norfolk was driving a 2021 MXZ TNT 600 snowmobile, and while he was going northbound on North Road, he didn’t negotiate a left-hand curve and hit a tree while exiting the trail.

Norfolk was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lewis County Sheriff’s said that Deputies responded to the snowmobile accident in Lewis County at about 7:44 p.m. on December 29.

The Sheriff’s Office got help from the New York State Police, Constableville Ambulance, Lewis County Search and Rescue, and Sullivan’s Towing.

Snowy, wet, and icy roads are one of the biggest reasons for accidents in the winter months. Speeding and not being able to operate the vehicle in such conditions can be deadly. 

If you were involved in such an accident (no matter if it was a one-vehicle or multiple-vehicle crash) make sure you get help from an attorney. Even though the weather requires even more careful driving, sometimes, the reason behind the accident can be other than that. Your attorney may seek a compensation claim from the manufacturer of the vehicle or the road maintenance service that didn’t clean the snow on time.

There are many possibilities to handle such accidents. It’s important that you get a claim for your injuries and damages. Recovering after an accident may take some time. During this time you’ll have to be absent from work and lose wages while the medical bills are growing.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
