Your first priority after a car accident: get medical attention

When you have been injured in a motor vehicle crash, the first thing you need to do is seek proper medical attention, even if your injuries do not seem serious. It is also important soon after the accident to file a claim for insurance benefits to recover for your injuries. During this stressful time, it is difficult to understand the complicated insurance laws and regulations, particularly those involving No-Fault benefits. New York State insurance laws and regulations are complicated and it can be difficult to obtain full reimbursement for your expenses. A claim for No-Fault benefits MUST BE FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS of the accident or potential benefits can be reduced or lost.

Was your motor vehicle crash the result of another's negligence?

If you suffered serious injuries in a motor vehicle crash or lost the support of a loved one as a result of a fatal car accident, our attorneys will investigate the cause of the accident. If your loss was the result of the negligence of another, you may be entitled to a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Our lawyers will pursue legal action to recover the compensation to which you are entitled. The personal injury claim and lawsuit should be filed against the responsible parties for financial losses such as medical bills and lost wages not covered by No-Fault, Uninsured Motorist, or Underinsured Motorist coverage; pain and suffering; projected life-care costs; and possibly more.
