What We Handle

Every Type of Car Accident Case
in New York

🚗

Rear-end collisions

The most common NYC accident type. Liability is typically clear. We document your injuries and fight for full compensation including future medical costs.

🚗

Intersection accidents

T-bone and angle collisions cause serious injuries. We subpoena traffic camera footage and signal data to establish fault.

🚗

Hit and run

Your own uninsured motorist coverage and MVAIC (Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corp) provide recovery paths even when the at-fault driver flees.

🚗

Multi-vehicle pileups

Complex liability with multiple insurers. We coordinate all claims simultaneously to maximize your total recovery.

🚗

Pedestrian and cyclist knockdowns

Struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian or cyclist? You have the same rights as any accident victim — and NYC juries are sympathetic.

🚗

Commercial vehicle accidents

Delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles, and commercial fleets carry substantial commercial insurance. We go after the full policy.

Car Accident Questions
We Hear Every Day

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in New York?+

Three years from the date of the accident under CPLR §214. But your no-fault PIP application must be filed with your own insurer within 30 days of the accident. And if a government vehicle was involved, a Notice of Claim is required within 90 days.

New York is a no-fault state — can I still sue?+

Yes — if your injuries meet the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d), including fractures, permanent limitation, or 90 days of disability in the first 180 days. We evaluate your injuries against the threshold in the free consultation.

What if the other driver has no insurance?+

Your own policy's Supplementary Uninsured Motorist (SUM) coverage applies. New York requires at least $25,000 SUM coverage. We pursue every available source of recovery, including your own policy.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?+

No. Their adjuster's job is to minimize your payout. Do not give a recorded statement before speaking to us. You are not legally required to do so.

The Problem

Amazon Is a Marketplace — Not a Store.
That Matters for Your Lawsuit.

Amazon sells both its own products and third-party seller products. Who you can sue — and under what theory — depends on which type of product hurt you. We know both paths.

Amazon's Own Products

Amazon Basics, AmazonFresh, Whole Foods 365

Amazon is the manufacturer and seller. Standard products liability applies — you can sue Amazon directly for design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn.

Third-Party Sellers

Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) Sellers

Recent New York and federal cases have extended liability to Amazon for third-party FBA products. Amazon controls the warehouse, the sale, and the customer relationship — courts increasingly hold them responsible.

What We Handle

Types of Amazon Product Cases We Take

🔥

Defective Electronics

Exploding batteries, overheating chargers, faulty appliances causing burns, fires, or electrocution.

🍎

Contaminated Food

AmazonFresh, Whole Foods 365, and third-party food products with contamination or mislabeling.

💊

Counterfeit Products

Fake supplements, counterfeit medications, or fraudulently labeled goods sold through Amazon's platform.

👶

Children's Products

Toys, cribs, car seats, and baby gear with safety defects or that failed to meet CPSC standards.

🏷️

False Labeling

Products claiming to be "organic," "natural," "non-toxic," or "FDA approved" when they are not.

🧴

Personal Care Products

Cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products with undisclosed ingredients or dangerous formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sue Amazon for a product a third-party seller listed?

In New York, courts have increasingly held Amazon liable for products sold by FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) third-party sellers. The key factor is Amazon's control over the transaction, warehousing, and customer relationship. This is an evolving area of law — call us and we'll evaluate your specific case.

What if I only paid $15 for the product? Is it worth suing?

For personal injury claims, the value of your case is determined by your injuries — not the price of the product. If you were hurt, hospitalized, or suffered lasting harm, the value of the case can far exceed the product's purchase price. For pure mislabeling without injury, we evaluate class action potential.

Amazon offered me a refund. Should I accept it?

Do not accept any settlement or refund without speaking to us first. Amazon's refund process may require you to waive future claims. Once you accept and dispose of the product, you may lose critical evidence. Call us before responding to Amazon.

How long do I have to file a products liability claim in New York?

Three years from the date of injury for personal injury claims under CPLR § 214. For breach of warranty claims, four years under the UCC. Time limits are strict — do not wait.
