Not many people know what to do if they are involved in an automobile accident in New York.  Fortunately, we do.  Our lawyers have over 30 years of legal experience and have helped hundreds of motorists throughout Brooklyn, Bronx, and metro area.  If you were the victim of a car accident, we can quickly help you assess your legal rights and help aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve.

YOU NEED LEGAL ADVICE

What started out as an average due has suddenly turned into a series of life altering sequence of events. Whether it’s a rear end car accident or a pedestrian knock down, you need to consult an attorney for legal advice. 

GETTING BETTER

Depending on the type of accident you have, there may be several options to recover compensation and receive medical benefits.  For example, you may be able to recover from a no-fault insurance policy, worker’s compensation, or short term disability.  Our lawyers are familiar with these and can help steer you through the myriad of forms and claims adjusters.

NEGLIGENCE

If your injuries were due to the negligence of another, you may be eligible to file a civil lawsuit to make you whole again.  In New York, the law observes comparative negligence and you may still be entitled to recover money even if your own actions contributed to some portion of the accident.

THINGS IN YOUR CONTROL

After an accident, it is important to seek the medical attention you need.  If this means calling an ambulance at the scene of the accident, it is important that you do it.  Furthermore, it is important that you contact the police to file a police report to properly document the events that took place.  Thereafter, it is important that you take care of yourself and follow your doctor’s instructions.  If your doctor recommends that you not report to work, then you should probably follow the instructions of your professional.  If your doctor recommends further testing and medical treatment, it is important that you keep your appointments and work on making yourself better.  Finally, it is also in your control to contact a lawyer.  If you feel that you have suffered a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence, then you should give our car accident lawyers a call at 800-893-9645 for your confidential consultation.
