Suffolk County Car Accident Lawyer

If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a motor vehicle collision, our injury lawyer can help you recover financial damages.

If you or a loved one was injured or passed away in a collision, your lawyer handling car accident cases based in Suffolk County, NY could help you recover damages.

Do not wait to Contact Our Team to Represent You

New York state puts a time limit on victims’ ability to bring legal action against a liable party. Generally, victims bringing a personal injury suit in New York have three years from the date of the injury to initiate legal action, according to CVP §214.

If the collision in question caused your loved one’s passing, you might be entitled to damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death cases are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the passing.

Additional exceptions, such as a suit against a municipality, could shorten your deadline for legal action. These statutes make it important that you do not wait to retain your car crash lawyer.

How Your Car Crash Lawyer Can Help

All cases are different. However, our injury lawyer can help victims who are injured or lost loved ones due to motor vehicle collisions.

Our team at Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. will:

Come to You and Document Your Injuries

Our professional opinion can come in handy when assessing your collision-related injuries. Let us:

  • Meet you at your place of recovery to discuss the collision from your perspective, including what happened, who you think caused the crash, and the options you have for pursuing financial damages
  • Meet with your physicians and medical caregivers to understand and document the nature and extent of your injuries for later use at trial and/or in settlement negotiations
  • Continually review your hospital bills and other medical expenses, as well as the related treatment records, as they will be integral in calculating the damages you are entitled to

Begin Building Your Case

We will take on your entire case for you. Your lawyer will:

  • Review all evidence about the crash, including visiting the scene, reviewing police reports, and obtaining all video and photographic evidence of the collision and its aftermath
  • Take photographs of your injuries to document the extent of your condition—even when your wounds begin to heal
  • Interview witnesses to the crash and secure written statements
  • Speak with your friends, family, and employer(s) to document how the collision has impacted your ability to maintain employment

Serve as Your Legal Guide

Your lawyer familiar with car accident law will walk you through the entire case to avoid confusion. Our team aiding Suffolk County wants to:

  • Handle all the legal aspects of your case from our initial meeting until the completion of a settlement or judgment
  • Provide timely updates and answer any questions as we push your case through to final resolution
  • Protect your legal rights throughout the entirety of the process

We Work to Prove Liability and Damages

A critical aspect of our legal representation is to prove that the other driver was at fault for your injuries. To do this, we must establish your crash-related injuries.

To do this, we will follow a four-step process for proving fault:

  • Establish the defendant’s duty of care to you: Drivers have a duty to others to operate vehicles safely.
  • Show that the defendant breached their duty of care: Any number of actions can constitute a breach of the duty of care.
  • Present all evidence that the defendant was negligent: We can support your testimony with proof.
  • Prove that the breach of duty caused your injuries: Our team must connect the accident and resulting losses with the other party’s actions.

We will present medical evidence to show that the defendant’s negligence caused or contributed to the injuries you sustained in the collision.

Damages You May Be Entitled to as a Car Collision Victim

Each injury case is unique, but our experience gives us an idea of the compensation you may be awarded:

Medical Costs

Your injuries can create many care costs, from right after the crash to months or years after the event. These can include:

  • Emergency transportation from the collision
  • Any ER bills you incurred from your injuries
  • The cost of your hospital stay
  • The cost of any surgeries you required
  • The cost of long-term rehabilitation and transportation to rehab appointments
  • Any chronic condition that arises as a result of the collision

Expenses Stemming From Your Injuries

Healing from a tragic experience can cause life changes that affect your income, like:

  • Wages lost due to your inability to work
  • Diminished earning capacity caused by your injuries
  • Inability to get an education because of your injuries
  • Diminished financial protection for your dependents

Non-economic losses like pain and suffering and diminished quality of life also qualify you to collect a financial award. Damages will vary in kind and amount based on the details of your case. In addition, you may be entitled to additional damages not listed here.
