Liability and Insurance Recovery for Route 9 Accidents in New York
The section of Route 9 between South Mountain Pass and Carol Lane is known for its serpentine layout and high frequency of multi-vehicle collisions. When an accident occurs on this stretch, investigators look for factors such as failure to yield while entering from side streets like Deer Ridge Road or high-speed rear-end impacts. Under New York’s no-fault insurance system, an injured driver’s medical bills and lost wages are initially covered by their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, regardless of who was responsible for the crash.
