Fatal Crash Administrative Hearing Outcomes and Schedules

Administrative cases for fatal crashes scheduled, adjourned, or adjudicated by an Administrative Law Judge. The dataset includes respondent names, case numbers, judge names, hearing dates, and disposition outcomes. It is provided by data.ny.gov and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in `Hearing Date` and `Disposition Date` to measure case processing timelines.
• Identify patterns in `Disposition` outcomes (e.g., dismissed, sustained) by `Judge Last Name`.
• Link administrative records using `Case Number` for longitudinal studies of fatal crash cases.
• Examine `Hearing Note` text for common reasons behind case adjournments or specific rulings.

Strengths

• Covers a 5-year window of fatal crash administrative cases.
• Includes 7 distinct columns tracking case progression and outcomes.
• Data is provided in multiple machine-readable formats (CSV, JSON, XML, RDF).

Limitations

• Total row count and sample size are unknown, limiting statistical reliability.
• Lacks explicit geographic coverage details within the state.
• Potential for class imbalance if certain disposition outcomes are rare.
