Times of Need
Bronx Car Accident Lawyer
For more than 26 years, we have represented injured drivers, passengers and pedestrians who have suffered injuries in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus and truck accidents in State and Federal Court.
Our experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated trial lawyers represent clients throughout the Bronx, from Hunts Point in the South Bronx to Riverdale in the North Bronx and all locations in between.
Immediately upon being retained, we investigate all aspects of your case, including determining the ownership and insurance information for all vehicles involved in the accident. We locate all witnesses and obtain statements from these witnesses where possible before the insurance companies have an opportunity to speak with them. Additionally, we secure photographs of all relevant evidence before it is no longer available, which is often vital in determining the causes of an accident. Letters go out to the insurance companies directing them to contact our firm and not our clients, who should be focused primarily on obtaining the necessary medical treatment, not responding to harassing phone calls from auto insurance adjusters.
Types of Cases
We represent clients injured in intersection and highway accidents, as a result of rollovers, due to distracted drivers, and resulting from impairment from alcohol or drugs, among other cases.
More than ever, insurance companies and their lawyers are challenging every aspect of automobile accident claims, retaining biomechanical engineers immediately to question whether a “low speed impact” could have caused the injuries suffered by the client. In fact, even in a rear end impact at 5 m.p.h., people can suffer serious injuries due to a variety of factors, including pre-existing injury to the back or neck, their position in the car, the exact point of impact between the vehicles, and the relative weight of the two cars. Often, these so called “low speed impacts” can result in severe back and neck injuries necessitating significant treatment including epidural steroid injections, lumbar and cervical facet blocks and spinal surgery.
We Fight to Obtain Maximum Compensation for Our Clients
When you place our trust in our firm to represent you, we take that responsibility very seriously. We are in constant contact with our clients and all emails and phone calls are returned promptly. Our attorneys are determined to ensure that our clients obtain the maximum possible compensation for all injuries they have suffered, including for pain and suffering, hospital and medical expenses, past and present, lost earnings, past and present, loss of earning potential, loss of benefits, such as health insurance and pensions, loss of services, and loss of enjoyment of life.
We understand and appreciate how devastating the accident can be to our clients and how disruptive and damaging their losses are. Through no fault of their own, they are left with pain and suffering, inability to perform their usual and customary activities, an inability to work, a loss of independence, extensive medical and hospital expenses (which are often only partially covered by insurance), the need for future medical treatment and operative procedures, partial disability, and a loss of enjoyment of their lives, including activities and hobbies they can no longer perform. Further, there is often a significant impact on family members of the injured client, who must now adjust their lives and schedules to transport the client to and from medical appointments, lose the services or consortium of a spouse, miss substantial time from employment or child care responsibilities, or obtain employment because the client can no longer work. We seek to obtain compensation not only for the client who has been physically injured but for spouses or other family members who suffer substantial damages as a direct result of the automobile accident.
