How A Brooklyn Car Accident Attorney Helps Families With Legal Questions

By Jomer Tuyor


If you have legal questions after a car accident, it might be tempting to rely on the internet for answers. For example, the internet will readily tell you that New York is a No Fault state, which means that you can only make a claim from your own insurance company unless the injury is "serious." It will even give you a brief definition of "serious."

As much as this is helpful, it doesn't give you a lot of direction. For example, you won't know whether you can sue or whether there is a chance of you coming out victorious in case you sue. To get personalized answers for your situation, you need to get advice from a lawyer.

Personal accident lawyers generally work on contingency - and any good lawyer will give you a free consultation to determine whether the case is worth pursuing. They will be honest about this, as they do not get paid unless you win.

You should act fast after an incident. This is because you only have a limited time to file a suit. 3 years is not as long as you might think, since you will need to put together and file a lot of paperwork, in addition to securing court date.

Out of court settlements can be organized by your lawyer. Insurers are much more likely to take you seriously if you have a lawyer than if you don't have one, so they will want to settle with you. They know that you won't let go of the issue until it has been settled.

Because New York is a No Fault state you should make sure your insurance is always up to date and will cover you in most situations. When things go really bad, though, you need proper advice from a lawyer and should call one right after the accident.
