Auto Accident Attorneys

The long-term consequences of a car crash can result in costly medical bills, a lower income, and suffering. The negligent party that caused the crash should be held responsible to cover these costs.

A New York City auto accident attorney can help you seek the full amount of compensation for your losses. An experienced car accident lawyer can also help you avoid unfair denials from insurance companies.

Distracted driving

Every driver is required to drive safely and keep their focus on the road. Distracted driving is dangerous for other road users. It's the leading cause of collisions. If you've been injured by distracted drivers, you may be legally entitled to compensation.

Distracted driving may include eating, reaching for items in the car, engaging with passengers as well as adjusting dashboard controls, such as the temperature or radio personal grooming such as shaving or applying makeup, and more. This includes eating, reaching inside the car for things as well as interacting with other passengers and changing the controls on the dashboard such as the radio or temperature. It can also be personal grooming like shaving or applying makeup.

According to research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) approximately 80 percent all crashes and 65 per cent of near-collisions are caused by driver distraction. Even turning your attention away from the road for five seconds at 55 mph doubles the chance of crashing.

If you've been injured in an accident caused by a distracted driver, a skilled auto accident attorney can help. They will review your case and make strongest arguments in favor of full compensation. This includes covering all of your current and future costs.

Car crashes

Car accidents can take many forms such as simple fender benders, to devastating head-on collisions. The type of accident determines liability and the extent and extent of injuries sustained by the victims and their financial losses.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash statistics show that driver errors are the most common cause of motor vehicle crashes. Even the tiniest of distractions, such as changing radio stations or applying makeup, or even reading the road map, could cause a serious crash. Other reasons for car accidents include speeding, drunk or reckless driving, bad weather conditions, inexperienced drivers or elderly drivers.

A New York City car accident attorney will examine your case to determine all parties responsible and determine the extent of your financial losses and injuries. They can also negotiate a fair settlement with defendant's insurer.

A seasoned auto accident attorney will help you obtain the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses, including past and future medical costs as well as lost earnings, physical and emotional distress, and more. They can also make sure that your claim for compensation includes insurance coverage for uninsured and sub-insured drivers, if necessary. This is especially crucial if the driver who is at fault does not have insurance, or has only the minimum required under New York law.

Uninsured or underinsured drivers

Some drivers don't carry insurance while others have a limited amount of coverage. If an under-, or uninsured motorist causes a crash, it can be difficult to obtain compensation for the losses. In these situations it is important to have a competent legal advocate on hand to assist you in achieving your goals as well as those of the insurance company.

When the other driver's liability limits aren't high enough to pay for your losses, you may be able to file a claim under your own insurance policy's underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage. This type of insurance is typically part of a full-coverage insurance policy, and can provide important insurance in the event of a major accident.

The process for filing UIM/UM claims is similar to the standard claim for auto accidents. It generally involves submitting copies of your medical bills and automobile repair bills. The insurance company will evaluate these along with other documents to determine where your losses fall within the limits of the coverage of the other driver.

It is important to speak with an New York City auto accident lawyer as soon following the crash as possible and start a UIM/UM immediately, especially when the other driver claims they don't have insurance or have inadequate coverage. This allows your lawyer to work with the other driver's insurance provider and their own underinsured/uninsured coverage providers to get you maximum compensation for your loss.

Property Damage

If your car is damaged in an accident, it is possible to seek compensation through the insurance company of the party who was at the fault. Our attorneys can assist you with filing a claim in order to recover economic and non-economic expenses, like medical bills and lost wages. You could be entitled to compensation for your discomfort and pain.

We will keep track of all physical evidence in your case. This includes taking photographs of the scene of the accident as well as your property and any damage, including fractured glass or dents. We will also collect any police or accident reports and any information about witnesses.

The prevailing law in New York State is comparative negligence, which means that even if you are found to be partly at fault for the accident the damages you incur will be reduced by the percentage of liability attributed to you. Likewise, the defendant may be found to be completely responsible for the accident, and thus not eligible to recover in any way.

You should not provide any written or oral declarations to representatives of insurance companies of the parties at fault because they could be used in court later against you. It is also important to consult a doctor right away after your accident, as some injuries take time to be discovered and could be used against you if you attempt to obtain compensation for your injuries later.
