If you or a loved one was hurt in a motor vehicle crash caused by another driver’s negligence or recklessness, the first priority is getting proper medical care. Once your condition is stabilized, the next critical step is filing your auto accident claim correctly. In Brooklyn, Staten Island, and across New York City, injured drivers and passengers often discover that the claims process is far more complicated than it first appears, especially when insurance companies begin looking for ways to minimize what they have to pay.

Insurance adjusters may seem helpful at the beginning, but the information you provide can later be used to challenge liability, dispute the seriousness of your injuries, or reduce the value of your claim. A recorded statement, incomplete medical documentation, or a late filing can create serious problems. Our attorneys help protect injured New Yorkers by dealing with the insurance companies directly, making sure filings are completed properly, and building claims supported by medical evidence, crash reports, witness statements, and other proof.

Because New York is a no-fault state, and because insurance carriers often try to argue comparative negligence, we work aggressively to establish who is responsible and to pursue full compensation. Depending on the facts of the case, that compensation may include hospitalization, medical bills, lost wages, future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement and scarring, and loss of consortium. We represent seriously injured motor vehicle accident victims suffering from fractures, head and brain injuries, spinal trauma, paralysis, arm and leg injuries, and wrongful death losses.

Our firm negotiates claims, values damages, advises clients on what is fair and reasonable, and takes cases to court when litigation is necessary to protect the client’s best interests. We handle auto accident claims on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no legal fee unless we recover compensation for you.
