Motor Vehicle AccidentsFading Gray Line

White Plains, New York, Auto Accident Lawyer

Do not delay - get legal advice soon after your auto accident.


A person seriously injured in a car or semi truck accident faces medical treatment, pain, and the possible loss of income and disability. A family grieving for their loved one after a fatal traffic semi truck or car accident may also be wondering how to survive financially without the support of the victim. At the Law Offices of Daniel A. Kalish, we work with accident investigators, medical experts, economists, and life care planners in preparing our clients' cases. We have the expert resources needed to counter tactics used by insurers to reduce claim amounts and cloud the issue of who is responsible for causing the accident that injured our client.

This is a difficult time, but some issues need to be taken care of quickly. You have to meet deadlines for filing a Report of Motor Vehicle Accident form MV-104 (10 days) with the DMV and a No-Fault application with your insurance company (30 days). If other claims or lawsuits will be involved, your auto accident attorney needs to begin an investigation while evidence and witnesses' memories are fresh.

Please feel free to contact attorney Daniel A. Kalish and make arrangements for a free consultation. At our White Plains personal injury firm, we feel it is our responsibility to relieve our clients of as much stress and confusion as possible, allowing them to recover as quickly as possible.

Recovering Damages in a No-Fault Auto Accident

New York is a "No-Fault insurance" state - meaning that when a person is injured in a car accident, medical bills are paid by the injured person's insurance. It is possible, however, that damages may be covered or recoverable through other insurance policies, including that of the other driver or possibly even a municipality if poorly-maintained roads were a factor in the accident. We can help with all claims and applications.

Auto accident lawyers in New York need to be familiar with DMV regulations and with laws governing on-the-job injuries, negligence lawsuits, and product liability. A semi-truck collision on I-95 or I-684 is likely to involve permanently disabling injuries or fatalities and as many as three insurance providers.

Contact Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney Daniel A. Kalish

It is important to begin working with an attorney as soon as possible after a motor vehicle crash, so witness statements and evidence can be assembled while fresh. A bicycle accident or pedestrian accident on the Bronx River Parkway, an 18-wheeler jack-knife causing a pile-up on Interstate 287, a bus or train wreck, or a tractor-trailer rollover all need to be investigated thoroughly. Your attorney may need to arrange examinations by medical experts. Filing deadlines need to be met. To get the strongest claim possible, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

Our personal injury law firm serves residents of New York's 5 boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island), Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Peekskill, Dutchess, Putnam, and White Plains. We also handle claims and lawsuits for New York residents who were injured in other states. If we are not the best firm to handle your particular matter, Mr. Kalish will be happy to refer you to a well-qualified colleague.

Mr. Kalish charges no attorneys' fees unless you recover damages.
