My Business
Nassau County Auto Accident Lawyer
Auto accidents are by far the most numerous and common type of accident that occurs every day in New York. We all drive to work, school, shopping, etc… and certainly, the New York Metropolitan area sees quite a bit of auto traffic which leads inevitably to accidents. New York is a “no fault” state which means that most medical bills arising out of an auto accident will be paid by the Insurance company irrespective of fault. In addition, individuals can recover for lost wages and for mileage incurred to and from doctor visits. However, there are time constraints and rules to follow concerning the filing of No fault forms and the processing of your claims.
Receiving payment for your Injuries and Pain & Suffering suffered as a result of someone else’s negligence is a different story. Under New York law, you must sustain a “serious injury” in order to recover for your injuries. What that means and how the Courts have interpreted that law is our job to explain to you in order to determine if your injuries qualify as a “serious injury” under the law, and if so, what are they valued at. Additionally, issues such as degree of fault, policy limits, underinsured coverage, etc. play a role in determining the value of your case.
If you are injured in any type of auto accident, we have over 30 years of experience handling these types of cases and will advise you and guide you through the often daunting process and do everything in our power to maximize your recovery!
