Car Accidents

New York City Car Accident Attorney

A car accident can change your life forever. Serious injuries may be obvious, and you may spend an extended period in the hospital. But in some collisions, the shock of the crash masks symptoms of debilitating injuries, such as soft tissue injuries, or even potentially serious brain injuries. If you have been injured in a car accident, you need the help of an experienced car accident attorney, so that you can get the full compensation that you need and deserve. In New York, please call the Law Offices of Eric R. Bernstein, P.C.. We are ready to get started helping you today.

Car Accident Damages

Do not fall into the trap of relying on insurance adjusters to determine the value of your case. The insurance adjuster’s job is to save the insurance company as much, money as possible. Never accept an offer, cash a check, or sign anything from the insurance company without talking to an experienced car accident attorney first. You could be signing away your right to the full compensation you will need for your injuries in the years to come.

Damages you may be able to receive in a car accident lawsuit include:

  • Existing and future medical expenses
  • Home health care
  • Long-term care
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Special equipment and home modifications to accommodate disability
  • Special vehicle, such as a wheelchair van with lift
  • Other out-of-pocket expenses created by your injuries, such as help around the house
  • Existing and future lost income
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Loss of consortium

If you have lost a loved one to a fatal car accident, we can help you recover wrongful death compensation.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

The majority of car accidents are the result of driver negligence such as:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Intoxication with alcohol, drugs, or both
  • Drowsy driving
  • Unsafe passing
  • Failure to signal
  • Following too closely
  • Failure to maintain lane
  • Aggressive driving

Driver negligence is not the only cause of car accidents. The following can be the sole cause or contributing factors in car accidents:

  • Defective vehicle
  • Defective roadway
