auto accident lawyer Accident Attorneys

You could be left with high medical costs, a decreased income, and pain and suffering as a result of a car crash. The party responsible for your accident should be held accountable for these losses.

A New York City auto accident attorney can help you get full compensation for your losses. A skilled attorney in car accidents can also safeguard you from unwarranted denials by insurance providers.

Distracted driving

Every driver is required to drive in a safe manner and be aware of the road. Distracted driving is a leading cause of collisions and near-collisions and can be extremely dangerous for other drivers on the road. If you've been injured from a driver who was distracted, you may be entitled to compensation.

Although many people think of texting or talking on the phone when they hear the term distracted driving it's actually any activity that requires your hands off the wheel, eyes off the road, or your mind away from the task at the moment. This could mean eating, reaching for items in the car, interacting with other drivers or adjusting the dashboard controls like the temperature or radio or personal grooming, such as shaving or applying make-up, and many more.

According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, the majority of crashes and 65 percent of close-collisions are caused by driver distraction. Even taking your eyes off of the road for five seconds when you're driving at 55 mph could increase the risk of your crash by a factor of two.

If you've suffered injuries in an accident caused by a distracted driver, an experienced lawyer for auto accidents can assist. They will review your case and make strongest arguments in favor of full compensation. This includes covering all your present and future expenses.

Car crashes

Car accidents can take a variety of forms that range from simple fender benders to catastrophic head-on collisions. The nature of the accident determines who's at fault, as does 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 that driver errors are a major driver's fault in motor vehicle accidents. Even the tiniest distractions - flipping through radio stations applying makeup or reading a map - could cause an injury or accident. Other causes of car accidents include speeding, reckless or drunk driving, bad weather conditions, inexperienced drivers or older drivers.

A New York City car accident lawyer can examine your case to determine the parties at fault and determine the severity of your injuries and financial losses. They can also negotiate a fair settlement with defendant's insurer.

An experienced attorney for auto accidents can help you get the compensation you're entitled to for your injuries and losses including future and past medical treatment costs, lost earnings, emotional and physical distress, and other damages. They can also ensure that your accident claim includes coverage for uninsured or sub-insured drivers, if required. This is particularly crucial if the driver who is at fault is not insured or has only the minimum required under New York law.

Uninsured or underinsured motorists

Some drivers choose not to have insurance on their cars, while others have minimal coverage. If an uninsured or uninsured driver causes the crash, it may be difficult to obtain compensation for the loss. In these cases, you should have your own skilled legal advocate on hand to help you meet your goals as well as those of the insurer.

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 usually part of a full-coverage insurance policy and it can provide you with important security in the event of an accident.

The procedure for filing UIM/UM claims is similar the typical claim for auto accidents. The process typically involves submitting copies your medical bills as well as auto repair bills. The insurance company will examine these and other documents to determine where your losses fall within the limits of the coverage of the other driver.

It is best to talk to a New York City car accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident and file an UIM/UM claim as soon as possible and especially when the other driver claims they don't have 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 car is damaged in an accident, it is possible to seek compensation from the insurance company of the party who was at the fault. Our attorneys can help you file a claim for both economic and non-economic damages, including the cost of your medical expenses and lost income. You may also be able to claim compensation for your pain and suffering.

We will carefully examine the damage to your vehicle and document all physical evidence to support your case. This includes taking photos of the accident scene, your property and any damage, including scratches and broken glass. We will also take note of any reports of an accident or police report as well as any information from witnesses.

The law in New York is based on comparative negligence. This means that if found partially responsible for an accident, you will be able to reduce your damages by the proportion of blame you receive. The defendant could also be found to be completely responsible for the accident and therefore not eligible to recover in any way.

It is not advisable to give any written or oral declarations to representatives of insurance companies of the parties who are at fault because they could be used later in court to smear you. It is recommended that you see a doctor as soon as possible following the accident. Some injuries can take a while to manifest and may be used against you in court if later you try to claim compensation.
