New York City Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers
Manhattan • Brooklyn • Queens • The Bronx • Staten Island
Accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, taxis and pedestrians are all too common in the New York City metro area. At the law firm of Shafran & Mosley, our lawyers have extensive experience representing the victims.
New York has no-fault auto insurance. This means that your own insurance company will pay for your medical expenses and lost wages. If you have suffered a serious injury as defined by the no-fault law, you can also bring a personal injury lawsuit for additional damages against the at-fault driver.
Our lawyers offer a free consultation to evaluate your car or other motor vehicle accident case to determine if your injury meets the no-fault threshold and if someone else was negligent.
Negligence in auto accident cases
There are many types of negligence in motor vehicle accident cases:
- Drunk driving is a leading cause of car accidents resulting in injury
- Many accidents involving tractor-trailers are caused by driver fatigue and truck safety violations
- Taxi cab companies may be responsible for accidents by not properly screening drivers
- Careless or inattentive driving results in rear-end collisions and many other types of accidents
The attorneys at Shafran & Mosley are experienced in establishing liability in car accident cases. If our lawyers represent you in your personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver, we will customarily handle your no-fault claim against your own insurance company at no charge. We will charge no fees in your personal injury case without recovering damages.
Uninsured or underinsured motorist claims
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or does not have enough insurance to pay for your damages, our attorneys will assist you in arbitration and mediation with your own insurer concerning your uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
Negotiating with health insurance companies and Medicare
If your medical bills were paid by your own health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, they will try to get their money back at the end of your case. Our lawyers will negotiate with your health insurer and help you keep as much of your recovery as possible.
