Located just south of the City of Buffalo and proudly identifying itself as the “Gateway to the Southtowns,” Blasdell, NY is a village rich in railroad history, community values, and regional connectivity. As part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area, Blasdell plays a vital role in Western New York’s story and is one of the many communities proudly served by Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys from our centrally located Buffalo office.
Whether you live in Blasdell or commute through its busy roadways like South Park Avenue or Mile Strip Expressway, accidents and injuries can happen unexpectedly. At Sullivan Brill, we are committed to standing with the residents of Blasdell during their most difficult times, providing skilled legal guidance and fighting for the compensation they deserve.
Blasdell’s identity is deeply tied to the railroad industry. The village was incorporated in 1898 and named after Herman Blasdell, the first station master of the local Erie and Pennsylvania railroad depot. What began as a bustling railroad community has evolved into a close-knit village with a strong sense of identity and tradition.
The village’s railroad roots still influence its character today, with transportation continuing to play a central role in Blasdell’s layout and economy. From the legacy of the Erie Railroad to the modern-day intersections of U.S. Route 62 and NY Route 179, the village has always been a point of connection. Unfortunately, that means it also experiences its share of traffic-related incidents, from vehicle collisions to pedestrian injuries—accidents that Sullivan Brill is fully equipped to handle on behalf of injured residents.
Blasdell covers 1.1 square miles of land in the northern part of the town of Hamburg. It is bordered by Lackawanna to the north and surrounded on its remaining sides by Hamburg. This strategic location just south of Buffalo offers residents easy access to both city life and the scenic Southtowns of Erie County.
Major transportation routes play a pivotal role in daily life. South Park Avenue (U.S. Route 62) runs directly through the heart of the village, connecting Blasdell to Hamburg and Lackawanna. To the south, NY Route 179 (Mile Strip Expressway) borders the village and connects to Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway), just east of the village boundary. These thoroughfares bring convenience—but also risk.
Our team at Sullivan Brill is familiar with the local roads, traffic patterns, and accident trends in Blasdell. Whether you’re injured in a crash on Route 62 or suffer a fall due to a hazardous sidewalk, our attorneys are ready to pursue your case with dedication and knowledge of the local landscape.
Blasdell had a population of 2,553 as of the 2010 census, with a slight decrease to 2,539 by 2020. While relatively small, the village offers a welcoming atmosphere and a high quality of life. The population is predominantly White (approximately 97%), and the community is made up of a mix of families, seniors, and working individuals. Over 37% of households consist of individuals, and nearly 16% include someone aged 65 or older.
With a median household income of $35,613, access to quality and affordable legal services is essential when an injury disrupts a family’s life. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. This allows all Blasdell residents, regardless of income level, to get the legal representation they need without financial stress.
Blasdell's charm lies not just in its location but also in its people. One of the village’s most beloved former residents was Ilio DiPaolo, a professional wrestler who became a respected restaurateur. In 1965, he opened Ilio DiPaolo’s Restaurant on South Park Avenue, which remains a local landmark today, operated by his family.
This strong sense of community pride and family legacy resonates throughout the village. At Sullivan Brill, we reflect that same level of personal investment in our client relationships. Every case we take from Blasdell is treated with the individual care and attention it deserves, because we believe in standing up for our neighbors.
