Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a car accident in Jericho, NY?

Move to safety and call 911 immediately, then document the scene with photos and exchange insurance and contact information with everyone involved. File a police report with NCPD and notify your insurer promptly. New York is a no-fault state, so your own PIP coverage pays initial medical costs regardless of fault, and you have just 30 days to file the NF-2 application.

Which roads are most dangerous in Jericho?

Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway carry the heaviest traffic through Jericho and account for most of the reported crashes we track. The LIE Exit 40 / Jericho Turnpike interchange — one of central Nassau’s busiest convergence points. Commercial driveways, signalized intersections, and turning movements along these corridors drive the local crash mix.

How current are these Jericho accident reports?
