MOST COMMON CAUSES OF CAR ACCIDENTS

Everyday across the Tri-State area people get into car accidents. They are most often the result of some form of carelessness, negligence or recklessness by another driver or drivers. We represent clients in both New York and New Jersey and have seen firsthand the devastation that results from all types of accidents. Some of the most common causes of accidents include:

  • Speeding

  • Distracted driving

  • Failure to follow traffic laws

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

  • Reckless driving

  • Failure to yield

  • Poorly maintained roads

  • Malfunctioning vehicle parts

No matter what caused your accident, we are here to help and are committed to fighting for the fair compensation you deserve. We know the pain, suffering, and stress that often results from an accident. That is why we are prepared to do everything we can to help make sure you have the resources you need to recover from your injuries or losses.

RECOVERING FAIR COMPENSATION

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a New York or New Jersey accident caused by a careless or negligent driver, you may be entitled to compensation. You may be able to recover the funds you need to cover:

  • Current and future medical bills

  • Lost wages

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Cost of long-term therapy or treatment

There are many types and degrees of injuries that occur in a car crash. Only a doctor is qualified to determine the extent of your injuries, so we will work with your healthcare provider to ensure all of your injuries are properly treated and documented for your case.

HOW we can help

Immediately following an accident, the insurance company will begin investigating your claim and the details of the accident. The sooner you contact us the sooner we can begin conducting our own independent investigation. We will:

  • Review the details of your insurance policy

  • Gather evidence from the accident scene

  • Interview witnesses

  • Review accident and police reports

  • Consult with experts

  • Analyze photos and available video footage

  • Investigate the driving record of the at-fault driver

We understand that every case is unique, which is why we provide individualized attention to every client we represent. We will thoroughly investigate the details of your accident before compiling a strong case on your behalf.

Insurance companies will do everything they can to diminish, devalue and even deny your claim because their focus is not on your best interest but on their bottom line. We know the tricks and tactics they will use to give you a low ball offer.
