Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

For car accident victims to recover damages from the at-fault party, they must show that the defendant’s negligence more likely than not caused their accident and injuries.

Common factors that cause car accidents include:

• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Traffic violations

Our car accident attorneys in Brooklyn are focused on determining what happened and why. We want to present all the facts of the crash clearly and convincingly on your behalf. When we can establish fault and liability, our clients have the best chance of recovering the compensation they deserve.

What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance?

When it comes to car accident laws, New York is a no-fault state. After an accident, the victim usually files a claim with their own insurance to recover compensation for their financial losses through a specific type of mandatory insurance called Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. The law prohibits personal injury claims filed against other drivers unless the claimant was “seriously injured” in the crash.

Under the law, a “serious” injury involves:

• Broken bones
• Permanent disfigurement or injury
• Substantively full disability for at least 90 days

Filing a third-party claim against another driver allows the claimant to pursue more non-economic damages and economic damages, whereas PIP coverage only compensates for economic damages. For example, the aforementioned damages about your pain and suffering cannot be achieved if you only use your PIP coverage after a crash.
