Pittsford, NY (June 17, 2024) – A motor vehicle accident with reported injuries occurred Monday at the intersection of Monroe Avenue and the Empire State Trail in the Town of Pittsford, according to emergency response reports.
The incident prompted a Basic Life Support (BLS) routine response, indicating that at least one person sustained non-life-threatening injuries requiring medical assessment. Emergency medical services responded promptly, providing treatment at the scene. While the number of injured parties has not been officially confirmed, those involved were likely transported to a nearby facility for further observation as a precaution. No critical injuries were reported.
This section of Monroe Avenue sees a high level of mixed traffic, including pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles—especially during warmer months. Crashes in this area are often linked to limited visibility, left-turn conflicts, and interactions between trail users and motorists.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by local authorities. The scene was cleared safely with minimal impact on traffic.
We extend our best wishes to those injured and hope for their complete and swift recovery.
Serious Injury Claims in New York
Across Upstate New York, from Albany to Rochester, personal injury cases continue to rise due to traffic collisions, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and workplace incidents. This region, known for its aging infrastructure and severe winter weather, sees a high rate of commercial traffic, which increases the risk of fatalities and serious injuries. Under New York’s civil law, injured victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, provided another party’s negligence can be clearly demonstrated.
The state’s “pure comparative negligence” rule allows victims to recover damages even if they are partially at fault. However, securing fair compensation requires immediate medical documentation, witness statements, liability analysis, and a qualified NY personal injury attorney with regional experience. Personal injury claims in New York must be filed typically within three years from the date of the incident. Missing this deadline or failing to collect strong evidence could weaken your entire claim.
