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 truck accident is already dealing with medical treatment, pain, and facing possible loss of income and disability. A family grieving their loved one after a fatal traffic accident may also be wondering how to survive financially without the support of the victim.
This is a difficult time, but some issues need to be taken care of quickly. It is still necessary 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.
Mr. Kalish has 20 years of experience as a New York auto accident lawyer. He will evaluate your claim, identify possible sources of compensation, and explain what long-term factors should be considered when calculating your losses.
New York is a “No-Fault insurance” state – when a person is injured in a car accident, medical bills are paid by the injured person’s insurance. It is possible, however, that other insurance policies are also responsible for damages. 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.
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.
Our lawyers charge no attorneys’ fees unless you recover damages.
