Fatal crashes in Paterson, 2019–2023
Federal records show 38 fatal crashes inside Paterson city limits over those five years, in which 39 people died. 47% happened after dark. 15 involved a pedestrian.
The roads that recur most in those records:
| Road | Fatal crashes |
|---|---|
| I-80 | 5 |
| SR-20 | 4 |
| RIVER ST | 2 |
| CR-638 GRAND ST | 2 |
This is why liability limits matter more than the premium difference suggests. The state minimum is the least you can legally carry, not a measure of what a serious crash costs — and anything above your limit is yours to pay.
