Conducting a detailed investigation
Gathering police reports, photographs, witness statements, and available video footage
Accurately calculating your damages — both immediate and long-term

What to Do After a Manhattan Car Accident

Your actions immediately after a crash can strongly affect your case. Here’s what to do:

Call 911 and make sure a police report is created.
Get medical attention right away — certain injuries show symptoms later.
Photograph the vehicles, road conditions, injuries, and surroundings.
Exchange contact and insurance information with other drivers.
Collect contact details from any witnesses.
Keep all medical bills and records.
Do not speak to insurance adjusters before speaking to a lawyer.

These steps help protect both your health and your legal rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a Manhattan car accident?
Yes. Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts — a lawyer protects you and fights for the compensation you deserve.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.

What if I’m partially at fault?
You can still recover compensation in New York, although the amount may be reduced based on your share of fault.

How long do I have to file a claim?
Most car accident injury claims must be filed within three years — but you should speak with a lawyer much sooner to preserve evidence.
