People often joke about the aggressiveness of NYC drivers, but those who have suffered injuries due to aggressive driving certainly aren’t laughing. It is no secret that more aggressive driving in one area means more accidents in one area, and New York car accident attorneys can certainly agree, for they see their fair share of accident cases involving aggressive driving.
New York City actually ranks pretty badly when it comes to overall safe driving records, and a poll taken by Reuters in 2009 actually has New York listed as the worst.

Regardless of the reasons for road rage or general aggressiveness, when it results in an accident, someone must be held accountable.
