One Killed in New York State Thruway Collision

One Killed in New York State Thruway Collision
Calendar icon March 22, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

One person was killed in a New York State Thruway collision between a car and a tractor trailer in Rockland County on Friday morning, March 12, state police said.

The collision happened in the early morning hours, around 5 a.m. on the northbound side of I-87, just south of Exit 14B. The truck came to rest on its side with serious damages to the cab. The white sedan had damage to the driver’s side door. During the investigation, the police closed the highway for several hours. 

The police are still investigating how the New York State Thruway collision happened. 

If you were involved in a crash, no matter how it happened or whose fault it was, it’s important to seek legal support as soon as possible. After the medical help, you receive, be sure to call a car accident attorney and tell them about your case.

Having an attorney who works on the case (gathering evidence, seeking the police report, guiding you and advising you) will significantly help you when you decide to file for a compensation claim.

Insurance companies aren’t very fond of paying high amounts just like that. They will use anything you failed to do (lack of documents, possible mistake you did while driving when the crash happened) to offer a low settlement or deny it entirely.

Our team at Cellino Law has experience with such cases. We know how important it is for accident victims to get a decent claim that will help them cover their expenses. Not everyone knows that you could negotiate with the insurance company (and not everyone knows how to do this). Allow an attorney to help you get your settlement.

For any question you have about your accident or about losing a loved one in such circumstances, contact our office and speak with an experienced New York car accident attorney.

    • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

    • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.

    • Joe and I just wanted to send you this note thanking you for the professional way you handled our lawsuit. Your kindness was extremely appreciated in a very difficult time. When we found out the people that caused the accident had no insurance, we thought our chances of receiving any settlement was nonexistent. Once we met with you and released you were able to help us our minds were put at ease. Your aggressive manner of handling the case exceeded our expectations. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you so much and best wishes,

      Danielle and Joe
