I-87 Exits 17–21 see heavy summer tourist traffic, particularly during the Lake George season. Route 9 through Queensbury and Glens Falls is a high-frequency accident corridor. Quaker Road and Route 254 are common commercial-route collision zones.

Local context: Glens Falls Hospital (102 Park Street) is the primary regional trauma center for Warren, Washington, and northern Saratoga counties.

What to Do After an Accident in Glens Falls

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if you feel okay, some injuries (concussions, internal injuries, soft-tissue damage) only show up hours or days later. Documented medical treatment is also critical to any future claim.
  2. Document the scene. Photos of the vehicles, the location, injuries, road conditions, and witness contact information are essential.
  3. Get a police report. A formal accident report from local police or NYSP creates the official record of what happened.
  4. Don't talk to insurance companies before talking to us. Insurance adjusters routinely call within 24 hours and ask leading questions designed to limit your claim.
  5. Call us for a free consultation. We'll review your case at no cost and explain your options before you commit to anything.

New York Personal Injury Law Basics

Statute of limitations: You have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. For wrongful death claims, the limit is 2 years. Cases against government entities (city, county, state) have much shorter notice deadlines — sometimes as short as 90 days.

Comparative negligence: New York is a pure comparative negligence state. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

No-fault insurance: New York is a no-fault state for auto accidents. Your own insurance pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, but you can still sue for pain and suffering if injuries meet the "serious injury threshold."
