Haverstraw sits along busy regional routes and includes areas where drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists share space—especially during peak commuting hours and weekend activity. Serious spinal injuries can result when:
- A vehicle collision involves sudden braking, turning, or lane changes near traffic bottlenecks
- A pedestrian or cyclist is struck after a misread traffic flow
- A fall occurs on uneven pavement, poorly maintained walkways, or icy/harsh-weather conditions
- Construction activity or delivery traffic creates temporary hazards
Because these incidents can involve multiple parties (drivers, property owners, employers, contractors, or insurers), the “who’s responsible” question often becomes complex quickly. That’s why early case organization matters.
