Car Accident Lawyers

The law firm represents clients in all five boroughs of New York (NY): Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, along with Suffolk County & Nassau County on Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, and throughout the entire state of New York.
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury. Even though many auto accidents are minor fender-benders, they can still result in a large number of severe injuries and deaths. In addition to the potential for disability, accident victims often experience substantial pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses and property damage. Sadly, many car accident victims never receive the full amount of damages to which they are entitled. Very often, car accident victims are unaware of the full value of their claims and accept the first offer from their insurance company.
We routinely handle NYC auto accidents knowing that this is not an everyday experience for you. We will guide you through every step in the process. By getting to know you and thoroughly understanding your accident case, we can provide you with superior legal representation.

Injured in a Car Accident? What Can I Do To Boost My Compensation?
- Call 911 and check for any personal injuries
- Be careful what you say, and refrain from saying “I’m sorry” or “I didn’t see you” or “It was my fault.”
- Seek immediate medical attention from a physician in order to document your injuries either from medical professionals from the ambulance or in the emergency room.
- Gather evidence such as the driver’s and witnesses contact information, license plates, photographs of the scene of the accident and your injuries, video footage of the accident scene or witness statements, and the police report.
- Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to begin a claim.
- Contact the other driver’s insurance to notify them of the accident.
- Never give a statement to an insurance adjuster if you are tired, medicated or confused, and never give a recorded statement.
- Stay organized, and keep all medical bills, evidence of lost wages, a diary of pain and suffering, police reports and insurance information in one place.
- Make sure you do not miss the statute of limitations deadline to file a claim with the court regarding your case if you do not receive a just settlement offer from your insurance company.
- Write a personal injury demand letter to your insurance company, or visit with an experienced attorney to assist you.
- Stay calm and amicable during negotiations with insurance companies, but never accept a settlement offer less than what you deserve.
- Hire an attorney to represent you and help you receive the compensation you deserve.
How to Build a Personal Injury Claim After a Car Accident in NYC
- Seek medical treatment immediately after an accident, not only for your own health, but also to provide proof that you suffered injuries that deserve compensation.
- Gather evidence at the scene of the accident including witness reports, other driver contact information, and photographs if possible.
- Notify your insurance company and the other driver’s insurance company.
- Send a written notice to the at-fault driver of your claim for damages.
- Be careful when visiting with insurance adjusters and do not admit guilt or allow yourself to be recorded.
- Do not sign a medical release that allows an insurance company to see all of your medical records, but rather only allow those medical records created after the date of the car accident and only for medical treatment related to that accident.
- Never sign away your legal rights in a settlement agreement, or cash a check from an insurance company unless you believe it is the best compensation package you can receive.
- If you have any kind of property damage or injuries, contact an experienced car accident attorney who will help you build your personal injury case, negotiate on your behalf with insurance companies, conduct an independent investigation of your accident, and even hire expert witnesses to confirm your claims.
Mistakes to Avoid When Negotiating Your Car Accident Settlement with a NYC Insurance Company
- Never admit any type of guilt
- Never offer an excuse for why the accident happened (i.e. I was texting, I looked down for a moment, my brakes should have been replaced, my tires were worn out, etc.)

- Do not give your social security number
- Do not discuss any pre-existing conditions you may have regarding your medical condition
- Do not exaggerate anything about the accident or your injuries
- Do not give the insurance adjuster the names of your family, friends, or work associates
