Auto Accident Attorneys

The long-term effects of a car accident can leave you with expensive medical bills, a decreased income, and suffering. The person who caused your crash should be obligated to compensate for these losses.

A seasoned New York City auto accident lawyer can help you pursue complete compensation for all your losses. A lawyer for car accidents can safeguard you from unwarranted insurance denials.

Distracted driving

Every driver is required to drive safely and be aware of the road. Distracted driving is dangerous for other road users. It is one of the main causes of collisions. If you've been injured due to a distracted driver you could be entitled to compensation.

While many people think of texting or calling when they hear distracted driving, it's actually any activity that takes your hands off of the steering wheel, your eyes off the road, or thoughts off the task at the moment. This involves eating, reaching into the car for items or passengers, and adjusting the controls on the dashboard like the radio or temperature. It can also be personal grooming like shaving or applying make-up.

According to research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, about 80 percent of all crashes and 65 percent of close-collisions are caused by driver distraction. And even just looking away from the road for five seconds at 55 mph doubles your chance of being involved in a crash.

An experienced lawyer for auto accidents can assist you if been injured in an accident caused by a driver who was distracted. They can look into your case to make the strongest arguments in favor of full compensation. This includes covering all your ongoing and future expenses.

Car crashes

Car accidents can be in many different forms, from minor fender benders to catastrophic head-on collisions. The nature of the accident determines liability and severity, as well as the amount and nature of the injuries to the victims and their financial losses.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash statistics show that driver error is the main driver's fault in motor vehicle accidents. Even the slightest distraction such as switching radio stations or applying makeup, or even reading the road map can cause a serious crash. Other common causes of car accidents include reckless driving, speeding drunk driving, unsafe road conditions and weather, as well as older or inexperienced drivers.

A experienced New York City car accident lawyer can analyze your case and identify all parties responsible for your injuries and financial losses. They can also discuss with the insurance company to negotiate a fair settlement for your claim.

An experienced auto accident lawyer can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses which include past and future medical treatment costs loss of earnings, emotional and physical distress, and more. They can also ensure that your claim is covered by coverage for sub-insured or uninsured drivers, in the event that they are required. This is especially important if the driver at fault is not insured or has insurance, or only has the minimum amount required by New York law.

Motorists who are uninsured or underinsured

Some drivers do not carry insurance, while others have minimal coverage. If an under-, or uninsured driver causes the crash, it may be especially difficult to recover compensation for your loss. In these circumstances you must have a qualified legal advocate working to help you achieve your goals, as well as the goals of 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 insurance is typically part of a full-coverage insurance policy, and it can provide important insurance in the event of a major accident.

The process for filing a UIM/UM claim is similar to filing a standard car accident claim. It typically involves submitting copies of your medical bills and automobile repair bills. The insurance company will review these along with other documents to determine if your losses are within the limits of the other driver's insurance.

It is crucial to talk with an New York City auto accident lawyer as soon following the accident as soon as is possible and start a UIM/UM immediately particularly when the other driver states they do not have insurance or do not have adequate 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, you may claim compensation through the insurance company of the party who was at fault. Our lawyers can assist you to file a claim for both economic and non-economic damages, such as medical bills and lost income. You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and discomfort.

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

The law in New York is based on comparative negligence. This means that if you are found to be partially responsible for an accident, you'll be penalized by the proportion of blame you're given. The defendant could also be found to be entirely responsible for the incident and therefore not entitled to any form of compensation.

Be careful not to give any written or oral statements to representatives from the at-fault parties' insurance providers, as these can be later used against you in court. You should also visit a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Certain injuries may take some time to manifest and may be used against you in court should you later try to claim compensation.
