Do I need a lawyer if the accident seemed minor?
Even minor-seeming accidents can result in injuries that are not immediately apparent, such as soft tissue damage or whiplash. Speaking with an attorney costs nothing and can help you avoid signing away your rights too early.
The insurance company already offered me a settlement. Should I take it?
Early settlement offers are often lower than what a claim is actually worth. We recommend having an attorney review any offer before you accept it.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
New York follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation even if you share some fault, though your recovery may be reduced proportionally.
How much does it cost to talk to an attorney?
Our consultations are free, and personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
