The Scaffold Law · Absolute Liability

Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer on the Upper East Side

The Upper East Side combines dense pedestrian and family activity — schools, museums, hospitals, shopping corridors — with major north-south avenues that carry constant traffic. The four primary north-south corridors (Lexington, 3rd, 2nd, York) each have their own accident patterns. 86th Street and 96th Street are the most-crashed cross-town streets. The FDR Drive entrances and exits create complex merging conflicts.

Amparo Law Firm represents Upper East Side residents injured in motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian strikes, and cyclist collisions.
  • 86th Street — major cross-town corridor with heavy pedestrian and commercial activity. Crashes concentrate at intersections with each avenue.
  • 96th Street — major cross-town and FDR access — high-speed corridor with pedestrian conflicts.
  • Lexington, 3rd, 2nd, and York Avenues — north-south corridors. Each has specific patterns; 2nd Avenue is now significantly improved with the subway construction complete, but pedestrian conflict points remain.
  • East End Avenue — narrower corridor with cycling and parking issues.
  • The FDR Drive entrances/exits at 96th Street, 79th Street, 71st Street, 53rd Street, 49th Street, 42nd Street, and 34th Street — high-speed merging that produces chronic crashes.
  • Park Avenue at 96th Street and other intersections — high-speed corridor cutting through dense residential blocks.
