According to LoHud.com, a car accident on Route 202 in Ramapo on January 15 killed one woman, critically injured a second woman and sent four other people to the hospital.
The website reported that the accident involved a car and a minivan. The severely injured women were found unconscious and unresponsive in their vehicles, following the broadside collision. “The roads were terribly icy,” Assistant Hillcrest Fire Chief Chris Bowers said, according to LoHud.com.
Firefighters had to extract the two women from their vehicles, as well as the driver of the minivan and two of the three people in the car, identified as an Acura. It took about 45 minutes to remove the people from the vehicles.
Police said that the two women who were the most seriously injured were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where one woman was later pronounced dead in the emergency room. The other woman was eventually transferred to the Westchester Medical Center in critical condition.
The four other people injured in the accident were taken to Nyack Hospital. The crash occurred just before Cottage Lane, according to LoHud.com. A preliminary investigation showed that the minivan crossed into the opposite lane and slid sideways, with its passenger side hitting the Acura traveling Route 202.
The woman who died reportedly suffered multiple fractures, and head and internal injuries. The woman who was critically injured suffered multiple fractures and trauma.

It is important to use caution when driving on icy roads. This includes decreasing your speed, leaving more room to stop and braking gently to reduce skidding.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
