Founding Partner
The lawyers at Parker Waichman LLP represent victims of car accidents in the Bronx to secure the compensation they desperately need. Vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in the Bronx. With nearly 450 people a month needing emergency treatment because of car accident injuries, the Bronx is home to some fairly dangerous roads and intersections.
These streets have high numbers of accidents because of issues like speed limits, traffic volume, visibility, road layout, and traffic signs/signals. Grand Concourse, in particular, is considered highly dangerous, garnering the nickname “Boulevard of Death” among many Bronx residents.
These collisions can all cause severe injuries requiring comprehensive medical treatment. Victims and their families are often left with numerous stresses and feel like they have nowhere to turn. Our firm can step in and help injured people seek legal recourse and restore their peace of mind.
Some additional factors can contribute to car accidents in the Bronx, especially on more dangerous roadways and at hazardous intersections. If drivers are acting carelessly in areas already known for accidents, they greatly increase their risks of causing serious crashes. Examples of contributing dangerous driver behavior include:
Despite the fact that driving under the influence is illegal and known to be highly dangerous, drivers do not always make safe choices after consuming drugs or alcohol. When driving under the influence, people are likely to make riskier decisions or drive erratically because of significantly impaired judgment. Drunk driving crashes can result in some of the most severe injuries of all types of car accidents. In the Bronx, people involved in drunk driving accidents are statistically more likely to have medically severe injuries than people involved in other types of vehicle accidents.
Distracted driving has suddenly become a major cause of vehicle accidents in the Bronx and throughout the state of New York. Distracted driving includes doing things behind the wheel like reading, eating, text messaging, changing radio stations, and talking on a cell phone. Anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road poses a risk to that driver, their passengers, and the drivers of other vehicles. Most people do not realize how much time it takes to read a short message and how far they travel during that amount of time.
Fatigued or drowsy driving causes more vehicle accidents than people might think. Even one night of poor sleep can place a person at risk for falling asleep at the wheel and causing a serious accident. Intended remedies for drowsy driving, like drinking coffee or rolling down the window, are often not enough to prevent a fatigued driver from being a danger to himself and others on Bronx roadways.
Whether because of a time crunch or feeling too confident behind the wheel, many Bronx drivers, unfortunately, engage in reckless behavior on the road. Types of common reckless driving include driving too fast, changing lanes without looking, and weaving in and out of traffic. Depending on the speeds being traveled, these accidents can lead to extremely serious crashes and severe injuries.
Many accidents in the Bronx can be attributed to drivers’ failure to observe or follow traffic laws. Sometimes, drivers violate traffic laws because they are engaging in other hazardous behavior behind the wheel, i.e., missing a stop sign while sending a text message. Traffic lights, signs, and speed limits are all in place to keep motorists safe, and these laws should be followed to prevent serious accidents and injuries.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
