However, your insurance company is a business that is just looking at their bottom line.

You need an experienced NYC car accident lawyer like Michael Redenburg to handle your personal injury lawsuit.

Please contact us today to go over the details of your car accident.

You Need to Hire a SoHo Car Accident Lawyer Immediately

From the moment you have your accident, the time starts ticking on your statute of limitations. If you want to hire someone, you’re risking filing your personal injury claim within the right time frame. Yes, you have three years to file a personal injury claim, but these cases are complex. Your SoHo car accident lawyer will need time to thoroughly investigate your accident so that they can build your case. You also need time to heal and receive medical attention for any of your injuries. Finally, you also need time for professionals to be able to add their expert opinions and strengthen your case.

Insurance companies are also known to delay cases. So, if you do not seek out a SoHo car accident lawyer immediately, you could find yourself running out of time. We want to handle your case efficiently, so you can receive your settlement and move past your accident.

We Want to Help You with Your SoHo Car Accident

Every car accident has different levels of damages. If you have serious injuries, we know that you have medical bills piling up. Not only that, but you also could be out of work for a substantial amount of time. You’ve already been a victim of a car accident, and you shouldn’t have to suffer anymore. We guarantee we will handle your case with tenacity and make your needs a priority. You need a settlement now, but it also needs to compensate you for your injuries and damages.

Insurance companies don’t care about whether you get a nice settlement. You are fighting against a large company that isn’t affected by your accident. So, while you’re trying to rebuild your life, the insurance company is operating without issues. Victims handling their own cases make the mistake of taking initial offers because they feel it is the best they can get. Don’t be a victim twice! Contact us today to discuss your options.

What Can We Seek Money for?

Every case is different, and the amount of the settlement varies due to the severity of your case. Some of the things we’ve sought compensation for in the past are:

  • Medical bills
  • The estimated cost of medical treatments in the future
  • Lost wages
  • A decrease in your income due to your injuries
  • Money to repair or replace your vehicle
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages

It is our goal that you are not left with any debt from your car accident. We negotiate aggressively to ensure that all of your damages are compensated. You should have everything that you are entitled to under the law.

What Should I Know About Car Insurance Claims?

We’ve warned you about watching out for insurance companies, and you need to pay close attention to adjusters. Once you report an accident to the insurance company for the car that hit you, you may be contacted by an insurance adjuster. You might think that this is a nice gesture, but the adjuster has only the interests of the insurance company in mind.

An insurance adjuster has a legal obligation to do what’s beneficial for the insurance company. So, they keep settlement offers as low as possible.

Before they even call you, an insurance adjuster has a range of offers that they are allowed to make. These numbers are based on past cases and payouts. An insurance adjuster hasn’t really looked into the details of your case, but only compared it to their statistics.

Most insurance adjusters know that you are going to accept what they offer. Even if a claim is denied, few victims challenge these decisions. Without a car accident attorney, it is easy for you to miss out on the settlement that you are entitled to.

We recommend that you never accept an offer within the first weeks following your car accident. You could agree to a settlement only to find out that your injuries are much worse than you thought. Then, you’ve settled for a small settlement and you have additional medical bills to face in the future.

Who Determines the Fault in a Car Accident?

New York is a no-fault state, so you’ll need to submit your medical bills to your own insurance before anything else. However, if your insurance doesn’t cover all of your injuries then you can seek out compensation from other parties. If you don’t turn your paperwork into your insurance company within 30 days of your accident, your claim could be denied. Your insurance will require that you have all your documentation in order including a police report, application, and any other documents outlined by your policy.

You shouldn’t have to worry about whether you have properly filled out any of this paperwork. Make sure that you get your NYC car accident lawyer to go over the process with you. Since it is so easy to be denied in this process, you should leave no room for error. Car accident cases are complicated and require the help of an experienced car accident attorney every step of the way.

It’s Important to Hire an Experienced SoHo Car Accident Attorney

You want to hire a car accident attorney that has experience handling car accidents that occur in New York City. An experienced car accident attorney should be familiar with the timeline of filing documents in car accident cases. Being efficient and timely is one of the best ways to get awarded a proper settlement. Your car accident attorney will also pay attention to every detail of your case. Victims that choose to handle cases on their own often miss vital steps.

Experienced SoHo car accident attorneys will also be familiar with traffic laws, courts, and traffic patterns. There are many personal injury lawsuits that are lost in court because of a minor point. Don’t gamble with your settlement by hiring someone that is unfamiliar with the area.

Negligence in New York City

You could lose additional compensation in your accident if you are found at fault. If you were talking on the phone while the accident occurred, the other party could say that you were 20 percent at fault. So, you would only be eligible to receive 80 percent of an awarded settlement. You need a car accident attorney that is going to minimize your responsibility in the accident. You don’t want to miss out on any of the money you need to cover your bills, other damages and compensate you for your pain and suffering.
