Car Accidents
An unexpected car accident has the potential to change your life and the lives of your loved ones forever. If you have been hurt in a car accident on Long Island, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
During the warmer months, and especially as the community attempts to return to some semblance of normalcy following the wake of Covid-19, people are getting in their cars and hitting the roads. Long Island roadways are some of the most congested around and, as any Long Island resident knows, some of the drivers in the area have a reputation for being aggressive and reckless. Even if you drive carefully and follow all the rules of the road, there is still a chance that you will be involved in a collision due to another driver that is either distracted or in a hurry.

If you are injured due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation under the law. In addition to compensation that you may be entitled to due to the negligence of another, if you are a driver or passenger involved in a motor vehicle collision, you are entitled to no-fault benefits. No-fault insurance provides coverage to claimants involved in a motor vehicle accident regardless of who is at fault.
In order to protect the initial benefits that you are entitled to after a car accident, insurance carriers require that a no-fault application be filed within thirty days of the date of the incident. If this deadline is missed, it could result in a denial of no-fault benefits which means that you will be personally responsible for payment of medical bills and miss out on the opportunity to be reimbursed for your lost wages or other expenses incurred as a result of the car accident.
If you have suffered injuries from a car accident, it is a good idea to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. Being represented by an attorney in the days immediately following a car accident will help protect your legal rights and ensure that your medical bills and lost wages are paid for. In addition, an early investigation of the car accidents and those involved in it will allow our attorneys to identify all liable parties as well as gather and preserve all relevant evidence so that you have the strongest personal injury case possible.
The insurance companies will fight you each step of the way and do everything that they can to deny a claim or to diminish the value of your personal injury case.
