Frequently Asked Questions
What can my car accident case be worth?
Every car accident claim is unique. According to recent date the average economic cost of a car accident can range from several thousands to over a million dollars for fatal accidents. These costs do not even begin to account for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. In general, the severity of your injuries will be the most important factor in determining the value of your claim.
What should I do if I get into a car accident?
Seek Immediate Medical Help
It is critical to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident. Many injuries that appear minor after an accident can worsen over time if not treated properly. Certain injuries can appear weeks or months later. If you wait too long to see a doctor, an insurance company may claim that you were injured in another way other than the car accident.
Notify the Police and Your Insurance Company of the Accident
It is absolutely essential to notify the police and your insurance company of the accident. Because New York is a no-fault insurance state, your insurance company is required to pay for your losses regardless of who caused the accident. In some cases, you may also be able to seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurer. If the crash resulted in permanent injuries, scarring and disfigurement, or the death of a loved one, this may be needed.

If you are being blamed, we strongly advise you to consult with our experienced lawyers before accepting any settlement.
