The Bronx is crisscrossed by some of the most congested roadways in America: the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95), the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87), the Bruckner Expressway, and local arterials like the Grand Concourse, Fordham Road, and White Plains Road. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield to pedestrians, running red lights, rideshare driver negligence, and commercial truck driver fatigue.
The Bronx has some of the highest pedestrian accident rates in New York City. Dense residential neighborhoods, busy commercial districts, and high traffic volumes create dangerous conditions. Common locations include intersections along the Grand Concourse, the Fordham Road shopping district, areas near subway stations, school zones, and construction zones with sidewalk detours.
The Bronx is experiencing significant development, from luxury high-rises in the South Bronx to infrastructure projects borough-wide. Construction workers face serious risks including falls from scaffolding and ladders, struck-by accidents, trench collapses, electrocution, equipment malfunctions, and crane accidents. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation and additional personal injury compensation.
Property owners in the Bronx must maintain safe premises. Common hazards include wet floors in retail stores along Fordham Road and Southern Boulevard, icy sidewalks in winter, broken stairs in older apartment buildings, uneven pavement, poor lighting in building lobbies, and spills in supermarkets and bodegas.
The Bronx relies heavily on MTA buses and private carriers. Bus accidents can involve collisions with other vehicles, pedestrian strikes, slip and falls while boarding or exiting, and injuries from sudden stops. Cases involving public transportation have unique procedures and shorter deadlines—contact us immediately.
Economic damages: Medical expenses at Bronx hospitals (Montefiore, BronxCare, Jacobi), lost wages including overtime and benefits, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs.
Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, anxiety and PTSD, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, disfigurement and scarring, and permanent disability.
In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may also be available.
Municipal liability cases: Many Bronx accidents involve city property or vehicles. These cases require filing a notice of claim within 90 days of the incident and have a 1 year 90-day statute of limitations. Contact an attorney immediately if your case involves the City of New York, NYPD, MTA, or other government entities.
Public transportation accidents: Accidents involving MTA buses and subways have unique procedures and shorter deadlines. Act quickly to protect your rights.
Statute of limitations: Personal injury: 3 years. Medical malpractice: 2.5 years. Wrongful death: 2 years. Claims against NYC/government: 90-day notice of claim, 1 year 90 days to file suit.
Comparative negligence: You can recover damages even if partially at fault—your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Serious injury threshold: For car accident pain and suffering claims, your injury must meet New York’s serious injury threshold (fracture, significant disfigurement, permanent limitation, or disability lasting 90+ days).
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offered a settlement? Insurance companies typically offer low initial settlements. An attorney can evaluate whether it fairly compensates you for all current and future damages.
What if I was partially at fault? You can still recover. New York’s comparative negligence law reduces your award by your fault percentage.
Do you offer Spanish-speaking services? Yes. Attorney Glenys Rosario is fully bilingual. All services are available in Spanish.
The insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize your compensation. You deserve an experienced advocate fighting for your rights. At The Law Office of Glenys M. Rosario: free consultations in English and Spanish, no fees unless we win, personalized attorney-direct attention, and aggressive advocacy for maximum compensation.
