Page 23 of the NY DMV Drivers' Manual states, "At this time, except where required by law, the term “accident” is frequently replaced by “crash.” This is because a “crash” can normally be prevented."
It's never "just an accident." Careless and distracted driving is avoidable. Pursuing those who risked the safety of others is an important aspect of our legal system. Holding careless drivers accountable helps prevent other drivers from driving negligently.
Did you know your auto insurance company doesn't protect injured motorcyclists as well it protects those in an enclosed vehicle? We can explain this and all other aspects of a motorcycle crash. If you were recently a motorcycle crash victim, call today.
Don't believe an insurance adjuster when he or she says, "you're not seriously injured under New York State Law." That person is not an attorney. Call us today to discuss your accident and injuries.
My dad was a truck driver. I loved him and all his trucker buddies. But many truckers today drive distracted, over-tired, and skip maintenance reviews. This negligence kills and injures hundreds of people per year. These cases require detailed knowledge and experience. We can help.
Not that kind of "hit and run"! Seriously, do you think because you were the victim of a hit and run, you can't recover money for injuries? Before I was a lawyer, I thought that too. (Hint, you're wrong. Call us and we'll explain why.)
I have recovered thousands and thousands of dollars for injured pedestrians and bicyclists with very bad injuries. We know how to deal with the insurance companies. (Why aren't these stock-photo people wearing helmets?)
