An auto accident is understandably a scary and stressful time. Allow me to guide you through the process.
As a provider of professional legal services in New York, I will be with you every step of the way. I will fight for your rights in court whether you filed a personal injury claim or a property damage claim.
As such, I will show the court that you are not liable for the accident and will not concede liability.
The Classification of Auto Accidents
Auto accidents may vary in degree, but I treat all cases with equal zeal and professionalism. You may classify them as any of the following:
- Car accident
- Truck accident
- Bus accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Bicycle accident
- Pedestrian accident
The Types of Possible Damages
Numerous economic and non-economic damages may result from an auto accident, including:
- Medical expenses
- Vehicle repair
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Wrongful death
Economic damages pertain to computable expenses such as vehicle repair and lost wages. Alternatively, non-economic damages pertain to incalculable damages such as loss of companionship and pain and suffering.
The “No Fault” and “Comparative Negligence” Laws
The state of New York has “no fault” car insurance and accident compensation laws as well as comparative negligence limits. This entails initially filing a claim with your insurance company, unless you obtain severe and permanent injuries, in which case you may file a claim against the other driver’s insurance as well as a lawsuit.
Per the New York statute of limitation, you may file a personal injury lawsuit within three years from the day of the accident.
A Multidisciplinary Practice and Former Prosecutor
I have a multidisciplinary practice and I am a former prosecutor in New York who has handled a considerable amount of auto accident cases. Such cases are undeniably a tumultuous time for every client, so I will prioritize your case and make sure you get the representation and compensation you deserve.
