We handle cases beyond what's shown here. Describe what happened — we'll tell you if we can help.
The Situation
Car accidents upend lives in a single second. The aftermath is paperwork, phone calls from adjusters, and mounting medical bills while you are trying to heal. New York's no-fault insurance rules can feel like a maze designed to pay you less than you deserve. Our job is to handle every moving part of your claim so you can focus on recovery — not paperwork.
Our Results in Car Accidents
Every case is different, but these outcomes show what we fight for on behalf of our clients.
A police officer hit a sinkhole and suffered a career-ending back injury. We got him the recovery he deserved.
A rear-end collision left our client with a herniated disc requiring multiple surgeries. We secured full compensation for his lost wages and ongoing treatment.
Our client sustained serious injuries in a vehicle collision and required ongoing medical care. We secured a substantial settlement covering medical expenses, lost wages, and future treatment.

- 1Preserve evidence immediately — accident scene photos, vehicle data, traffic camera footage, and witness statements before they disappear.
- 2Manage the no-fault (PIP) claim so your medical bills and lost wages are covered from day one.
- 3Identify every available insurance policy — the at-fault driver's, your own underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage, and any umbrella policies.
- 4Negotiate with insurance adjusters who are trained to minimize your payout. We know their playbook.
- 5If they refuse to offer fair compensation, we file suit and prepare for trial. That pressure is often what moves a case.
What to Do Next
- Get medical attention today, even if you feel fine — some injuries don't appear for 24-72 hours.
- Document everything: photos of vehicles, injuries, the scene, and get the police report.
- Do NOT give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
- Keep every medical record, bill, and receipt related to the crash.
- Call us for a free case review before the insurance company tries to settle.

Call 911 and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine — many injuries don't show symptoms right away. Document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, and contact our office before speaking with any insurance company.
Most car accident cases settle before trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our trial-tested attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to a jury.
You may still recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys will identify every available source of recovery to make sure you're not left paying out of pocket.
The value depends on factors including the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, and the impact on your daily life. We evaluate the full picture during your free consultation.
