Our firm has years of experience investigating motor vehicle accidents, negotiating with insurance companies and taking these lawsuits to trial.
No-Fault Insurance Claims
New York is a " no-fault " insurance state. This means that if you are injured in a car accident, you will be able to recover compensation for medical bills and lost wages even if the other driver had no insurance or you, yourself, were partially responsible for the accident. That said, no-fault benefits are rarely sufficient to cover all the expenses in the case of a severe car crash injury. In fact, many victims have their benefits delayed or denied. If this happens, don't despair. There may be other avenues of recovery.
Threshold Injuries for Car Accident Victims
New York allows a car accident or car wreck victim to pursue a personal injury claim ONLY when his or her injuries meet certain criteria. Sometimes called " threshold injuries, " these auto accident injuries include: death; loss of a fetus; significant disfigurement (usually facial); amputation injuries; serious fractures; and the permanent total or permanent partial loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system; and non-permanent injuries that significantly disable the person for no less than 90 days out of the first 180 days after the car accident occurred. In most cases, medical experts must corroborate or testify to these injuries and conditions. Unsubstantiated complaints without medical proof will not be acceptable.
As you can see, the law has many complications and pitfalls. Inexperience can cost you dearly. Our attorneys know the law, how to investigate these cases, and how to make certain your injuries are properly documented. You've already been a victim once. Don't be victimized again by choosing the wrong lawyer.
