What Families Can Do After a Fatal Car Crash in New York
In 2024, more than 18,000 vehicle crashes were reported in Monroe County, according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. Nearly 1,700 of those crashes were speed-related, and more than 500 were the result of alcohol or drug impairment.
Chain-reaction crashes at a busy intersection take weeks to piece together. These steps protect a family’s position while that work happens.
- Request the crash report and the investigating deputy’s contact information from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, since the report holds the diagram, the vehicle positions, and the witness names.
- Ask that the vehicle not be repaired, released, or sold for salvage yet, because the damage is often the clearest record of the sequence of impacts.
- Route insurance calls through one family member or through a lawyer, so nobody gives a recorded statement while the facts are still open.
- Order several certified copies of the death certificate, since insurers, banks, and employers each ask for their own original.
- Anyone injured in the crash should be checked the same day, even without pain, because concussions and internal bleeding can surface hours later.
- Give your own insurer written no-fault notice within 30 days of the crash, which is the window New York sets for no-fault benefits.
