Every day, there are New Yorkers involved in serious auto accidents. While some walk away unscathed, others suffer life-changing injuries. If you’ve been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP is ready to fight for your rights to compensation. Throughout New York, our firm has developed a reputation for relentlessly pursuing damages from insurance companies and reckless individuals. Whether a large commercial carrier rear-ends your vehicle or your motorcycle hits a pothole, you can trust our legal team, The Case Handler, to fight aggressively to get you the compensation you need.
Pursuing Damages in NYC Metro Area Car Accidents
New York is one of a number of no-fault car insurance states. That means you need to file a claim with your own insurance company if you are injured in an auto accident, regardless of who is to blame.
Our seasoned legal team can negotiate with your car insurance carrier to obtain a settlement that reflects the full scope of your injuries. However, if you suffer one of the following “serious injuries,” you may file a third-party insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit:
- Dismemberment
- Significant disfigurement
- Fracture
- Loss of fetus
- Permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system
- Permanent consequential limitation of a body organ or member
- Significant limitation of use of a body function or system
- Injury resulting in full disability for at least 90 days after the accident
After sustaining any type of injury in an auto accident, consult with a skilled lawyer adept in court and at the negotiating table.
Investigating Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists in New York City face a number of perils: reckless drivers, damaged roadways, debris, and malfunctioning vehicle components. But New York riders are not bound by the state’s no-fault insurance laws, so they do not have to meet the “serious injury” threshold in order to file a personal injury lawsuit against another party. No matter how severe your motorcycle collision may be, The Case Handler team can investigate your accident and determine your best option for obtaining the reimbursement you need for your injuries.
Proving Fault in New York Truck Accidents
A collision with an 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer often results in horrific, if not fatal, injuries. If you or a loved one is hurt in a serious trucking accident, our experienced lawyers can perform an exhaustive investigation into your case to determine which of the following parties is at fault:
- Truck driver — In many truck wrecks, the driver is at fault for operating his or her vehicle while intoxicated, distracted, or exhausted.
- Trucking company — Trucking companies must adhere to federal regulations and may be at fault for negligence in hiring, training, or vehicle maintenance.
- Truck manufacturer — If the tires, brakes, or other truck components are defective or malfunction, the vehicle manufacturer may be at fault.
When a tractor-trailer accident traumatizes your family, you deserve justice. Our tenacious legal team will fight diligently to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
