Rochester, NY (June 17, 2024) – A motor vehicle accident with injuries occurred Tuesday on Interstate 490 eastbound near mile marker 1.4, prompting a response from local emergency services, according to official reports.
The incident was designated a Basic Life Support (BLS) routine response, signaling that at least one individual sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders arrived quickly to evaluate and treat those involved. While the exact number of injured individuals has not been confirmed, medical care was provided at the scene and precautionary transport may have occurred. The identities of those involved have not been released.

We extend our best wishes to the injured and hope for their full and prompt 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.
