New York Car Accident Lawyer

Common Causes of Car Accidents in New York

Our firm handles car accidents caused by:

• Distracted driving — texting, handheld phone use, GPS use while driving
• Speeding and reckless driving — aggressive lane changes, tailgating, ignoring signals
• Drunk and drugged driving — DUI accidents and Dram Shop liability
• Failure to yield — at intersections, pedestrian crossings, merge points
• Drowsy driving — fatigued commercial and passenger drivers
• Poor vehicle maintenance — brake failures, tire blowouts, faulty steering
• Road hazards — potholes, missing signs, construction zone dangers

Compensation Available in New York Car Accident Cases

Depending on your injuries and the circumstances, you may be entitled to:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life

New York’s no-fault insurance system covers medical expenses and lost wages up to policy limits. If your injuries meet the serious injury threshold under NY Insurance Law §5102(d), you may also pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering damages.

New York Car Accident Statute of Limitations

You generally have 3 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims against government entities require a 90-day notice of claim. Don’t wait — evidence fades and witnesses become harder to locate. Contact our New York car accident lawyers today.
