Frequently asked
Direct answers from the attorney who handles these matters.
Most asked
New York is a no-fault state, so your own auto insurance generally pays initial medical bills and a portion of lost earnings after a car accident, regardless of who caused it. No-fault has strict notice deadlines. Serious injuries may also allow a separate claim against the at-fault driver.
Question 2
New York's general statute of limitations for personal injury is three years from the date of the accident, but no-fault notices and claims against municipalities have much shorter deadlines. Because these timelines vary, it is best to consult an attorney soon after an injury.
Question 3
We handle personal-injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there is no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. We discuss the fee and any case costs clearly before you sign anything.
Question 4
It is wise to be cautious. Insurers may ask for recorded statements or quick settlements that can affect your claim. We recommend speaking with an attorney before giving statements so your rights are protected.
