When is is Too Late to Get a Lawyer After an Accident in New York?

In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, including car accidents, is generally three years. However, it's recommended to consult a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident to ensure adequate preparation for your case. Always remember, this information is a guideline and it's best to seek advice from a qualified attorney for specifics on your situation.

What Do Car Accident Lawyers Do?

As experienced car accident attorneys, Simon & Gilman, LLP will represent your interests in negotiating with insurance companies, gathering evidence, and, if necessary, litigating your case in court to fight for a fair compensation. Our team will assist in navigating the complexities of the law surrounding car accidents and personal injury.

What Compensation Is Available After An Accident?

After a serious injury accident, our firm is dedicated to zealously protecting your rights and providing you and your family the support you need while you heal. We also promise to aggressively pursue all compensation for damages to which you may be entitled, including:

  • Medical Bills: Reimbursements for immediate and ongoing medical needs stemming from the accident.
  • Lost Earnings: Compensation for wages lost during recovery. This includes potential future earnings if the accident impairs your earning capability.
  • Pain and Distress: Acknowledgment of both the physical pain and emotional suffering caused by the incident.
  • Property Damage: Costs for repairing or replacing your vehicle and any personal belongings damaged.
  • Loss of Companionship: Compensation for adverse effects on your relationship with your spouse due to the accident.

The Severity of Gross Negligence and Pursuing Punitive Damages

Gross negligence indicates a blatant disregard for others' safety, a step beyond mere negligence, such as driving under intoxication. Punitive damages, aimed not at compensation but at punishing the offender and deterring future negligence, may be pursued in such cases.

How Insurance Coverage Influences Your Compensation

The type and extent of insurance coverage play a pivotal role in the compensation process:

  • Liability Insurance: Addresses damages if you're deemed at fault, covering both bodily injuries and property damage.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Protection: Ensures coverage if the other party lacks sufficient insurance.
  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP): As part of "no-fault" insurance, it covers medical expenses and lost wages, irrespective of fault.
  • Collision Coverage: Deals with your vehicle's repair or replacement costs.
  • With Simon & Gilman, LLP, navigating these insurance intricacies becomes less daunting, ensuring you're aptly compensated.
