Street racing on New York City's densely populated roads is not just illegal — it is one of the most dangerous situations an innocent driver, passenger, or pedestrian can find themselves in. When a racer loses control at high speed, the resulting injuries are often catastrophic: spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, crushed limbs, and permanent disability.
If you were injured in a street racing accident, it's important to understand that the criminal charges a racer may face are entirely separate from your right to pursue civil compensation. You can file a claim for medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment costs, and pain and suffering — and liability may extend beyond just the driver who struck you, to other racers, vehicle owners, or additional parties who contributed to the dangerous conditions.
Evidence in these cases can disappear quickly. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, vehicles get repaired, and online posts get deleted. Acting fast matters — and so do deadlines. New York's no-fault rules require written notice to your insurer within 30 days of a crash, and certain claims against public entities must be filed within 90 days.
At Levitsky Law Firm, we help street racing accident victims throughout New York City gather evidence, identify all liable parties, and pursue the full compensation they deserve.
