Why Hire a Specialized Staten Island Car Accident Lawyer
Car accidents on Staten Island — especially involving multiple vehicles, commercial cars, or serious injuries — often include complex legal and insurance issues. A dedicated lawyer brings important advantages:
We conduct a detailed investigation: we collect police reports, photos, medical records, and witness statements.
We handle negotiations with insurance companies, protecting you from low-ball settlement offers and aggressive adjusters.
We carefully calculate all damages, including current and future medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
We manage legal procedures and deadlines to ensure your claim is properly filed and preserved.
We offer full representation from start to finish, including trial if settlement efforts fail.
You don’t pay anything upfront — we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
With this approach, you can focus on recovery while we fight for your rights.
What To Do Immediately After a Car Accident
Taking prompt, correct action after a crash can protect both your health and your potential claim:
Call 911 and make sure a police report is filed.
Get medical attention right away — even if injuries seem mild at first.
Take photographs of the accident scene: vehicle damage, road and weather conditions, skid marks, traffic signs, and traffic lights.
Exchange contact and insurance information with all involved drivers.
Collect contact information from any witnesses.
Keep all medical records, bills, prescriptions, repair estimates, and any documentation of lost wages.
Do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.
These steps help preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.
What You Can Recover
If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical expenses, including future care
Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long-term treatment
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life
Vehicle repair or replacement, property damage
Long-term disability or ongoing care costs

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer after a Staten Island car accident? Yes. Insurance companies often aim to limit payouts. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and helps you recover all damages you deserve.
How much does it cost to hire your firm? You pay nothing upfront. Our fees are contingency-based — we only collect if we win your case.
What if I’m partly at fault? Under New York law, even if you share fault, you may still recover damages. Your award will be adjusted based on your share of fault.
