NY CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

When you are involved in an accident with a motor vehicle New York as either a driver, passenger or even a pedestrian, you need the knowledge, experience, expertise and compassion of the attorneys at The Mandel Law Firm on your side.

There is no such thing as a “simple car accident”. The moment you hear the screeching of breaks, crunching of metal and shattering of glass, your life changes. You may have serious physical injuries, medical bills, lost wages during your recovery, car repairs and other expenses. You need help, and you need help fast. The last thing you need is the insurance company runaround. The Mandel Law Firm knows how to get you what you want, what you need, and most importantly how to get things done.

The law in New York State requires that the person or company that is responsible pay for your injuries. Some people try to handle their own car accident case, thinking that the insurance company involved will settle their claim as promptly and as fairly as they advertise on television. However, the “real world” is not like a TV commercial. Insurance companies’ obligations are to their stockholders and policyholders, not to people who are injured in motor vehicle accidents. Insurance companies have vast resources at their disposal as well as sharp, experienced adjusters and attorneys whose sole job is to reduce or deny your claim. At The Mandel Law Firm, our sole obligation is to YOU.

Insurance adjusters often thrive on the confusion that a motor vehicle accident causes in people’s lives. The adjuster’s job is to make the insurance company profitable by paying as little money as possible to people who are seriously injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident.

Involvement in a motor vehicle accident is a frightening and confusing experience for everyone. If you are in an accident, we suggest the following:

  • Stop immediately – Stay as calm as possible and do what you can, within reason, to avoid blocking traffic, such as pulling over to the side of the road. Never leave the scene of a motor vehicle accident, no matter how slight the collision.
  • Check to see if anyone is injured – Do not assume that a lack of a visible injury means that a person is not hurt. Contact 911 as soon as possible if an injury is suspected.
  • Call the police – A motor vehicle accident should be reported to the police who will prepare a report. This report may not only be helpful in identifying all the parties involved, but also in substantiating your injuries and any damage to your car.
  • Gather information – If possible, get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnessers to the accident. Also, take a mental note of the scene and the road conditions at the time.
  • Visit your doctor – Even if you are not sure if you, or someone else in your vehicle has been injured in the accident, it is best to go to a hospital emergency room or examined by your personal doctor, as soon as possible. When you see the doctor, it is important to fully and completely explain all of your injuries and physical problems as a result of the accident.
  • Inform your own insurance company – Make sure that you call your own insurance company as soon after the accident as possible. Failure to report the accident immediately may in some instances result in the denial of coverage by your insurance company.
