Few holidays bring communities together, like the Fourth of July. Each year, tens of millions of Americans travel to celebrate Independence Day, whether to visit family in a nearby city or to vacation in another state. As the second-largest city in the Empire State, Buffalo attracts visitors from across the region: from fireworks over Niagara Falls to Bisons games at Sahlen Field, the City of Good Neighbors and its surrounding cities offer holiday activities for New Yorkers of every age.

Unfortunately, the Fourth of July heralds more than seasonal festivities: Independence Day is also one of the most dangerous American holidays for motorists. Recently, the National Safety Council estimated that there would be 385 deaths and 41,200 car accident-related injuries over the holiday weekend. While many of these injuries are minor and warrant little more intervention than home care and bedrest, others are comparatively severe, wreaking havoc on victims’ lives. Since accident-related injuries can have long-term implications, the costs of recovery can accumulate with little warning. Accident victims could find themselves struggling to decide between paying off their existing medical debt, enrolling in physical therapy, or keeping the electricity running.

However, accident victims do not need to make these difficult decisions. New York law could afford you the right to take the motorist who caused your crash to court. If you, or a loved one, have been injured in a Buffalo Fourth of July car crash that was not your fault, you could be entitled to significant compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Since 2005, Jed Dietrich, Esq., and his highly experienced team of attorneys have helped our clients secure more than $175 million in damages from reckless motorists, negligent corporations, and big insurance companies. We could help you, too. Please send us a message online or call us at (716) 839-3939 to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation.

Fourth of July Car Accident Facts

Holiday traffic is responsible for more than congestion and traffic delays: it can cause accidents, too. Each year, collision and injury rates rise during the holidays. According to the American Safety Council, the most dangerous holidays are:

1. The Fourth of July;
2. Thanksgiving;
3. New Year’s Day; and
4. Christmas.

Researchers have consistently flagged the Fourth of July as among the most dangerous American holidays. Each year, hundreds of motorists are injured in automobile accidents over Independence Day weekend, while tens of thousands more are injured. While holiday car crashes have many potential causes, most could be attributed to the following:

1. Drunk Driving: The United States Department of Transportation’s National Highway Safety Traffic Administration analyzed a recent five-year span of Fourth of July accident statistics, finding that 41% of all motorists killed in Independence Day car crashes were intoxicated.

2. Fatigue: For motorists traveling long distances or late at night, fatigue can present risks on par with drunk driving. Drivers who are short on sleep may suffer increased reaction times and find themselves unable to pay attention to the road. The National Safety Council believes that drowsy drivers cause, on average, at least 100,000 accidents annually.

3. Increased Traffic: In a recent survey of travelers, the American Automobile Association found that 47.9 million people said they planned to travel 50 or more miles from home over the holiday weekend—most by automobile. More cars on the road could mean a greater chance of automobile accidents.

Financial Compensation After a Fourth of July Accident

The human body is not equipped to withstand the forces inherent in an automobile accident. Even at low speeds, crashes could cause serious injuries, including but not limited to:

1. Bruising;
2. Broken or fractured bones;
3. Neck and back injuries;
4. Spinal cord injuries;
5. Traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions;
6. Internal bleeding;
7. Scarring; and
8. Whiplash.

While the financial costs of a car accident vary, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that a single automobile accident-related emergency room visit averages thousands of dollars, while more intensive hospitalizations could cost victims tens of thousands of dollars per incident. With healthcare costs reaching record highs, even financially stable families could find themselves struggling to stay atop rapidly mounting medical debt. Fortunately, New York law affords accident victims the legal right to file a claim for financial compensation. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C. could help you pursue damages for:

1. Existing and anticipated medical expenses;
2. Long-term care needs;
3. Ambulance transportation fees;
4. Physical therapy;
5. Prescription medication co-pays;
6. Paid deductibles;
7. Lost income from work;
8. Exhausted vacation time and paid time off (PTO);
9. Diminished earning potential;
10. Pain and suffering;
11. Temporary or permanent disability;
12. Disfigurement; and
13. Wrongful death.

Since New York does not currently cap the damages that car accident victims could receive from a personal injury lawsuit, you could receive as much money as you need to reclaim your independence. However, you have to act fast: New York has a strict statute of limitations on all personal injury claims. If you wait too long to take action, the court could dismiss your claim without consideration. Do not forfeit your opportunity to ascertain justice. Please call the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. at (716) 839-3939 to schedule your consultation as soon as possible.
