Ten Injured in Brooklyn Multiple-Vehicle Crash

Ten Injured in Brooklyn Multiple-Vehicle Crash
Calendar icon March 7, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

Ten people were injured, five of which suffered severe or life-threatening injuries, in a seven-vehicle accident involving an MTA bus. The Brooklyn multiple-vehicle crash temporarily closed the road, said the police. 

It all started after a minor accident, a Mercedes-Benz and a Ford SUV pulled off to the side of the road close to the 4th Avenue exit on the Prospect Expressway in Windsor Terrace. The crash took place shortly after 2 p.m. on Friday, February 26, the police said. 

While the drivers of both cars were exchanging information, a third car, a grey Mercedes lost control and crashed into the back of the other Mercedes. 

Four other vehicles were involved in the Brooklyn multiple-vehicle crash, including an MTA bus. The traffic was delayed as the highway was closed for the investigation.

A multiple-vehicle accident can be a real challenge, especially when the police have to determine the fault.

In such cases, it’s best to have a skilled car accident attorney to help you. Since New York is a no-fault state, and your claim is covered by your insurance, you’ll have to have a good attorney if you want to file a claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver (if we assume it wasn’t your fault). This is crucial for pain and suffering or non-economic damages. Your injuries should meet certain thresholds the state has set. 

Of course, you can try to do this on your own, but it’s always better to get legal assistance from an experienced attorney.

If you want to file a lawsuit against the liable driver to cover all your medical bills, lost wages, trauma and pain and suffering, our team at Cellino Law is here for you. Our New York car accident attorneys will gladly help you get your much-deserved claim.

    • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.

    • 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.
