New York Car Accident Lawyer Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney Serving All Five Boroughs
Insurance companies move fast after a crash. We move faster. If you were injured in a car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, or any motor vehicle accident in New York, we fight to recover every dollar you are owed.
Car Accident Claims in New York — Maximizing Your Settlement
A car accident can upend everything in seconds. Your health. Your income. Your ability to care for your family. What happens in the days immediately after determines how much you recover.
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. They call fast, sound sympathetic, and put a number on the table that sounds reasonable but is far below what your case is worth. Adam knows this because he spent years on the defense side watching it happen. Then he crossed the line.
When you hire us, we take over all communication with the insurer immediately. We secure police reports, preserve surveillance footage and dashcam data, work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries, and negotiate from a position the insurance company cannot easily dismiss. If they refuse to pay fairly, we take it to trial.

How Much Is a Car Accident Worth in New York?
No two cases are identical. New York law allows injury victims to pursue compensation across several categories:
- Medical bills — current and future treatment
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages if a loved one was killed
The first offer from an insurance company is almost never the right number. Adjusters are measured on how little they pay out. We evaluate every factor — severity of injury, duration of recovery, long-term impact on your earning ability, and available policy limits — and we fight for that number rather than their opening offer.
Cases We Handle
As a full-service personal injury law firm, we represent clients in:
Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, bicycle and pedestrian injury claims, as well as rideshare accident cases involving services like Uber and Lyft are all types of cases handled.
Workplace & Construction Injuries
Workers’ compensation claims, job site and construction accidents, as well as injuries caused by repetitive stress or unsafe working conditions are all types of cases handled.
Premises Liability
Slip, trip, and fall injuries, hazardous staircases, sidewalks, or building conditions, as well as elevator and escalator accidents are all types of cases handled.
Catastrophic & Specialized Cases
Medical malpractice, wrongful death claims, dog bites and animal attacks, as well as serious injuries such as brain trauma, spinal cord damage, or burns are all types of cases handled.
Truck Accident Claims — Federal Regulations & Employer Liability
Truck accident cases carry more complexity and often significantly higher compensation than standard car accident claims.
Commercial trucking is governed by federal regulations covering driver hours, vehicle maintenance, load limits, and licensing. When a trucking company violates those rules and you are injured, multiple parties can be held liable simultaneously. The driver. The employer. The cargo loader. Sometimes the vehicle manufacturer.
We obtain black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records before they can be altered or destroyed. If a trucking company’s negligence put you in the hospital, we make sure they answer for it fully.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer — Protecting Riders from Unfair Blame
Motorcycle riders are disproportionately blamed after accidents by insurers, opposing counsel, and sometimes juries. We fight that bias directly.
If another driver hit you, cut you off, or failed to yield, you have the same legal rights as any other injury victim. We build cases that establish fault clearly, counter the reflex assumption that the rider was reckless, and pursue maximum compensation for injuries that are often catastrophic because of the exposure involved.
Rideshare Accidents — Uber & Lyft Injury Claims in New York City
Rideshare accident claims are legally complicated. Liability shifts depending on what the driver was doing at the moment of the crash — logged into the app, waiting for a fare, or actively transporting a passenger.
We know how Uber and Lyft structure their insurance coverage to limit payouts. And we know how to cut through it. Whether you were a passenger, a driver struck by a rideshare vehicle, or a pedestrian hit by an Uber or Lyft driver, we pursue the right policy at the right coverage level.
Hit and Run Accidents — Your Rights Without the Other Driver
A hit and run does not eliminate your right to compensation.
We pursue recovery through your own uninsured motorist coverage, New York’s Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation, and every other available avenue. Surveillance footage disappears. Witnesses scatter. Physical evidence degrades fast. The sooner you call us, the stronger the case we build.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims in New York
Not every driver on New York roads carries adequate insurance. When the driver who hit you had no coverage or not enough to cover serious injuries, we pursue your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy.
These claims frequently pit you against your own insurer, who will fight the payout just as hard as any other carrier. We handle that fight too.
New York Comparative Fault — You Can Still Recover Even If Partially at Fault
New York follows a pure comparative fault rule. You can recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault but it is not eliminated.
Insurance companies exploit this aggressively, inflating your fault percentage to shrink the payout. We push back hard and keep your assigned percentage as close to the actual facts as possible
These claims frequently pit you against your own insurer, who will fight the payout just as hard as any other carrier. We handle that fight too.
New York Motor Vehicle Statute of Limitations — Act Before the Deadline
Most motor vehicle accident claims in New York must be filed within three years of the accident date. Miss that deadline and you lose your right to recover anything, regardless of how strong your case is.
Claims against a government entity carry a much shorter window. A Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days of the accident. One day late means no case.
The earlier you call us, the more evidence we preserve and the stronger your position becomes.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in New York?
Call the police and get a report filed. Seek medical attention immediately even if you feel fine. A gap in treatment is one of the first things insurers use to reduce your claim. Document the scene, collect witness information, and call us before speaking to any insurance adjuster.
How much is a car accident worth in New York?
It depends on injury severity, recovery duration, lost income, and available insurance coverage. What is consistent is that the first offer is almost never the right number. We evaluate every factor and fight for what your case is actually worth.
How long will my case take?
What if I was partially at fault?
You can still recover under New York’s comparative fault law. Your recovery is reduced proportionally but not eliminated. We fight to ensure your assigned fault percentage reflects the actual facts.
What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?
We pursue recovery through your own uninsured motorist coverage and through MVAIC if necessary. An uninsured driver does not mean an uncompensated victim.
