Auto Accident Attorneys

You could be faced with a high medical bill or a loss of income and suffering and pain due to a car crash. The person responsible for your accident must be held accountable for these losses.

An experienced New York City auto accident lawyer can help you seek complete compensation for all your losses. An attorney for car accidents can safeguard you from unwarranted insurance denials.

Distracted driving

Every driver is responsible to drive safely and be aware of the road. Distracted driving is dangerous for other road users. It is a major cause of collisions. If you have been injured by a motorist who is distracted, you may be eligible for compensation.

Distracted driving can involve eating, reaching for items in the car, interacting with passengers as well as adjusting dashboard controls, such as the radio or temperature or personal grooming such as shaving or applying makeup and more. This could mean eating, searching for things in the car, talking to passengers or adjusting the dashboard controls like the temperature or radio, personal grooming like shaving or applying make-up, and much more.

According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, about 80 percent of all crashes and 65 percent of close-collisions involve some form of driver distraction. Just taking your eyes off the road for just five seconds while driving at 55 mph can double your crash risk.

An experienced attorney for auto accidents can assist you if been injured in an accident caused by an unintentionally distracted driver. They can investigate your case to make the most convincing arguments in favor of full compensation. This includes covering all of your current and future costs.

Car crashes

Car accidents can take on a variety of forms, from simple fender benders to catastrophic head-on collisions. The type of accident determines who is responsible, as well as the scope and nature of the injuries suffered by victims and the extent of their financial losses.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) statistics that driver errors are a main factor in crashes involving motor vehicles. Even the tiniest distractions like switching radio stations and applying makeup or a road map, could cause a serious crash. Other reasons for car accidents include speeding, reckless or drunk driving, poor weather conditions, inexperienced drivers, or older drivers.

A New York City car accident lawyer will analyze your case to identify the parties responsible and assess the severity of your financial and physical injuries. They can also discuss with the insurance company to agree on an acceptable settlement for your claim.

A skilled attorney for auto accidents can help you receive the amount you are due, which includes for future and past medical costs as well as lost wages, physical and mental stress, and other injuries. They can also make sure that your claim for compensation includes uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage should it be required. This is especially important if the at-fault driver has no insurance or has only the minimum required under New York law.

Uninsured or underinsured drivers

Some drivers don't carry insurance and others only have a limited amount of coverage. If an under-, or uninsured driver causes an accident, it could be especially difficult to recover compensation for the loss. In these instances, it is important to have a competent lawyer representing you and 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 coverage is typically part of an insurance policy with full coverage, and it can provide you with important protections in the event of a serious accident.

The procedure for filing UIM/UM is the same as the typical claim for a car accident. It typically involves submitting copies of your medical bills as well as repair bills for your car. The insurance company will evaluate these and other documents to determine whether your losses fall within the bounds of the coverage of the other driver.

It is crucial to talk with an New York City auto accident lawyer as soon following the accident as you can and immediately file a UIM/UM especially when the other driver claims they do not have insurance or lack 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 damaged

If your car has been damaged in a crash and you want to seek compensation for the damages through the at-fault party's insurance company. Our lawyers can help to file a claim for both economic and non-economic damage, including the cost of medical bills and lost income. You could be entitled to compensation for your pain and discomfort.

We will take note of all physical evidence in your case. This includes taking pictures of the accident scene and your property, such as cracks, broken glass and cracked screens for your devices. We will also take note of any accident or police reports as well as any information from witnesses.

The law in New York State is comparative negligence meaning that even if you are found to be partly accountable for the accident the damages you incur will be reduced by the proportion of liability assigned to you. The defendant could also be found to be totally responsible for the accident and, therefore, not able to recover in any way.

You should not give any written or oral explanations to the representatives of the insurance companies of the parties who are at fault, as they can be used in court later against you. It is also crucial to see a physician immediately after the accident, since certain injuries can take a while to show up and can be used against you if you attempt to obtain compensation for your injuries later.
