We handle vehicle-related claims including car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, and pedestrian accident cases. We also take on rideshare accident claims involving Uber accident and Lyft accident situations, as well as slip and fall injuries, construction accident cases, and premises liability matters. For clients suffering life-altering harm, we pursue catastrophic injury cases involving spinal cord injury, brain injury, TBI, burn injury, and back injury. We also represent families in wrongful death and birth injury claims when negligence results in devastating loss.

Question 2

Do you offer services in languages other than English?

Our multilingual staff ensures you can communicate comfortably in your native language throughout your entire case—from initial consultation through settlement or trial. We believe language should never be a barrier to obtaining justice, and our team is committed to making every client feel understood and supported regardless of their primary language.

We offer meetings by phone, video conference, or in person at our offices throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island.

Question 4

What should I do immediately after a car accident or other vehicle collision?

Accepted Answer

After any accident, prioritize safety first. Call 911 if anyone is injured, move to a safe location when possible, and exchange information with other parties involved. Document the scene thoroughly with photographs, gather witness contact information, and seek medical attention promptly—even if injuries seem minor, as conditions like back injury or brain injury symptoms may develop later. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Then contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your legal rights and preserve critical evidence for your claim.

Question 5

How are Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare accident cases different from regular car accidents?

Accepted Answer

Rideshare accident cases are significantly more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple insurance policies may apply. Coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash—whether they were logged off, waiting for a request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively completing a trip. Both Uber accident and Lyft accident claims require careful analysis to determine which policies provide coverage and how to maximize recovery. Our attorneys understand these layered insurance structures and know how to identify all available sources of compensation for injured passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers.

Question 6

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim, and how long do I have to file?

Accepted Answer

You may have a valid personal injury claim if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries—whether from a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, bicycle accident, slip and fall, construction accident, or any other incident where another party failed to exercise reasonable care. In New York, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the injury date. However, wrongful death cases have a two-year deadline, and claims against government entities require much shorter notice periods. Because evidence disappears and memories fade, contacting an attorney promptly strengthens your case and protects your right to compensation.
