According to DOT data, 269 people died in vehicle-related crashes in New York City last year. While that total shows New York City’s streets to be the safest of any major American city and less deadly than a generation ago, as Mayor Bloomberg said when announcing the same data last year, “even one traffic fatality is too many.”
According to NYC car accident lawyer, Paul Ajlouny, traffic accident claims that walk through the door, are on the rise. Contributing factors for vehicle collisions include: Drunk drivers, fatigue behind the wheel, cell phone distraction.

Whiplash, neck sprain, strain, is an injury to the makeup of the neck.
Whiplash is often the result of rear-end car crashes -- usually from a side impact or collisions head-on.
Whiplash can cause injury to the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, cervical muscles and nerve roots.
The cervical facet joint medically known as zygapophysial joint, is commonly injured in whiplash.
Statistically each year, over 2 million people are injured and suffer from whiplash. Whiplash can be caused by:
- Motor vehicle accident
- A sports injury
