How we handle your case
1
Investigate
Police reports, MV-104 forms, witness statements, EDR/black-box data, and your no-fault application (NF-2) in the first 30 days.
2
Negotiate
We open the no-fault claim with your own insurer for medical bills and lost wages, then pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering.
3
Litigate
If the carrier lowballs, we file in NY State Supreme Court. Discovery, depositions, IME challenges, and trial if needed.
What you can recover
Medical bills (ER, surgery, PT)
Lost wages (no-fault to $2,000/mo)
Pain and suffering
Future medical care
Loss of earning capacity
Loss of services (spouse)
Every case is different. The recoverable damages depend on your injuries, the insurance available, and the facts of your case.
What you need to know
Serious injury threshold.
To recover pain and suffering from the at-fault driver, your injury must meet the NY's serious injury threshold threshold — permanent loss of use, significant disfigurement, fracture, significant limitation, or 90/180-day disability. We document the threshold from day one.
Contingency — no fee unless we win.
You owe nothing up front. Our fee comes from the recovery. If there's no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
