Auto Accident Attorneys

The long-term consequences of a car accident could result in costly medical bills, a reduced income, and even pain and suffering. The person responsible for your accident must be held accountable for these losses.

A New York City auto accident attorney can help you obtain the full amount of compensation for your losses. An experienced car accident lawyer will also shield you from unwarranted denials by insurance providers.

Distracted driving

Every driver is required to drive safely and keep their eyes on the road. Distracted driving can be dangerous for other road users. It's an important factor in collisions. If you've been injured by a driver who is distracted, you may be legally entitled to compensation.

Although many people think of texting and calling when they hear the phrase distracted driving it's actually any activity that takes your hands off of the wheel, eyes off the road, or mind off the task at the present moment. This includes eating, reaching into the car to get items as well as interacting with other passengers and adjusting dashboard controls like the radio or temperature. It can also involve personal grooming, such as shaving or applying makeup.

According to research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, the majority of crashes and 65 percent of close-collisions result from driver distraction. If you take your eyes off of the road for just five seconds while driving at 55 mph can double the risk of a crash.

If you've suffered injuries in a crash caused by a distracted driver, an experienced auto accident lawyer can aid. They can investigate your case to make the most persuasive arguments for full compensation. This includes covering all your current and future costs.

Car crashes

Car accidents can take a variety of forms such as simple fender benders, to devastating head-on collisions. The type of accident determines who's liable, as well as the extent and severity of the injuries suffered by victims and the magnitude of their financial losses.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) statistics the driver's error is a main cause of motor vehicle crashes. Even the tiniest distraction such as switching radio stations or applying makeup, or even reading a road map, can result in a serious accident. Other causes of car accidents include speeding, reckless driving drunk driving, bad road conditions and weather, and older or inexperienced drivers.

A skilled New York City car accident lawyer can examine your case and determine the parties accountable for your financial losses and injuries. They can also negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company that is the defendant's.

A skilled auto accident lawyer can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve for your losses and injuries which include past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, emotional and physical stress, and other damages. They can also make sure that your claim has insurance coverage for uninsured and sub-insured drivers, in the event that they are required. This is especially important if the at-fault driver is not insured or is only covered to the minimum amount required under New York law.

Uninsured or underinsured motorists

Some drivers choose not to carry insurance for their car, and others are covered only in the minimum. If an under- or uninsured motorist causes the crash, it may be a challenge to get compensation for your losses. In these cases you must have a competent legal advocate on hand to help you meet your objectives as well as the goals 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 often included in a comprehensive policy and can provide you with important protections in the event that you're involved in a serious collision.

The process of filing UIM/UM claims is similar to the standard claim for auto accidents. It typically involves submitting copies of your medical bills and repair bills for your car. The insurance company will review these documents and others to determine if your losses are covered under the other driver's policy.

It is recommended to speak with a New York City car accident attorney as soon as is possible after the accident and file an UIM/UM claim as soon as possible in the event that the other driver says they don't have or have insufficient insurance 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 vehicle was damaged in a collision and you want to seek compensation for the repairs by contacting the insurance company. Our lawyers can assist in submitting a claim to recover financial and non-economic expenses, like medical bills and lost wages. You may 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 accident site and your property, as well as any damage, such as cracks and dents. We will also take note of any police reports or accidents as well as any information from witnesses.

The law in New York State is based on negligence that is comparative. This means that if you're held partially accountable for an accident, you'll have your damages reduced by the percentage of blame you're awarded. The defendant may also be found to be solely responsible for the accident and therefore not entitled to any form of compensation.

Be wary of giving any written or oral declarations to representatives of the at-fault parties' insurance providers, as these can be used against you in the future in court. It is also crucial to see a physician immediately after your accident, as some injuries take time to manifest and could be used against you if you attempt to seek compensation for your injuries later.
