How an Auto Accident Attorney Takes on Your Case [Video Demo]

The New York City Police Department releases monthly traffic collision data detailing accidents in NYC. With this information publicly available, it isn’t difficult to see that car accidents are incredibly common. This is especially true in a crowded city like New York, which has millions of residents and thousands more tourists who move around the city every day. If you were in a car crash in NYC, it’s easy to feel alone in your fight for compensation. But with an auto accident attorney by your side, you can focus on recovery and leave obtaining your compensation to us!

What Damages Are Eligible for Compensation?

When in a car accident, you can experience a wide range of potential damages. These include physical, emotional, and even material damages.

As your auto accident attorney, our team will fight for compensation for all of your eligible damages.

Fortunately, in New York State, all insured drivers are eligible for no-fault benefits, regardless of fault. These benefits come from your personal injury protection insurance, and cover economic damages like:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Hospital bills
• Accident-related travel expenses, etc.

However, it’s important to note that you must file your no-fault claim within 30 days of the accident. As your auto accident attorney, we will help you with this step and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.

Additionally, you may be eligible for compensation for non-economic damages. But your accident must be the fault of another party, and your injuries need to surpass the serious injury threshold. If you meet these requirements, our team will develop your case so you can receive compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish, etc.

New York State is also a comparative negligence state, meaning that you’re still eligible for compensation even if you’re partially at fault. While your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault, your payout may still be substantial.

How an Auto Accident Attorney Takes on Your Case

As your auto accident attorney, it is our job to protect your compensation, build your case, and represent your interests.

By collecting evidence like police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements, we help demonstrate the negligence of the other party. Of course, the insurance company that we’re filing your claim against will be doing the same to you.

That is why it’s incredibly important not to speak with the insurance company. Using common minimizing tactics, these insurance agents will try to lower your compensation in any way they can. But when you leave the negotiating to us, we help protect your compensation from any lowball offers.

If the insurance company refuses to provide you fair compensation in a settlement agreement, we are ready and willing to represent your interests in court.

While this is uncommon, we have over 65 years of experience taking on cases like yours, so you can trust us with your compensation no matter the case.
