Motor Vehicle Accidents

Most people will suffer from a motor vehicle accident at some point in their time on the road. In many cases, the damage is minimal: a bent fender or busted mirror. But for many others, severe damage and long-lasting injuries can result. Medical bills pile up, and you may not know where to turn.

Our attorneys have decades of experience helping clients recover from the physical and emotional damage from these accidents. Where other firms might pass before even an initial consultation, we want to talk to you. We examine every case that comes through our door to determine if and how recovery can be obtained. At Edelman, Krasin & Jaye, PLLC, our team of attorneys have the experience to help you when you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident across Long Island.

After an motor vehicle  accident, especially one resulting in serious injuries or significant damage, it is important to seek legal advice for the reason listed:

• Insurance Companies: They may offer settlements that are less than what you’re entitled to. An attorney ensures you get fair compensation.
• Legal Deadlines: There are statutes of limitations for filing personal injury claims in New York, and a lawyer can help you meet these deadlines.
• Complexity of Laws: New York has “no-fault” insurance laws that may affect your claim. A local attorney can guide you through these nuances.

Steps to Take After a Motor Vehicle Accident:

• Seek medical attention immediately.
• Document the accident: Take photos of the scene, exchange information with other drivers, and file a police report.
• Contact an attorney: The sooner you contact a lawyer, the quicker they can begin gathering evidence and negotiating with insurance companies.
