Albany Car Accident Attorney
I am an Albany New York lawyer who has successfully represented clients who have been personally injured in car accidents.*
Many times the accident is caused by a driver running a red light, following to closely, speeding, or failing to yield the right of way. Car accidents can result in very serious back injuries, knee injuries, and broken bones and fractures to the ankles, wrists and ribs. When the victim has suffered a “serious injury” as defined in the NYS Insurance Law, a claim can be made for pain and suffering in addition to the payment of medical expenses and lost wages.
I have occasionally received calls where the person is injured by a vehicle owned by the State or local government. These types of cases require immediate attention as they involve a Notice of Claim or Notice of Intention to File a Claim. The time limitations to file a claim or lawsuit are usually extremely short.
Why hire a personal injury or car accident lawyer?
1. To get assistance with completing the no-fault paperwork to get your medical and lost wage benefits.
2. To get assistance with completing workers’ compensation paperwork, if you were injured while you were working.
3. To have your case evaluated in order to negotiate the claim with the insurance companies.
4. To protect your claim by filing notices of claim, or intentions to file a notice of claim if the accident involved the state or a municipality.
5. To investigate all possible sources of insurance coverage, including supplemental uninsurance motorist (sum), and umbrella coverage.
6. To file a lawsuit against the irresponsible driver if the case cannot be settled.
I work on a contingency fee basis, which means if I am your lawyer, I only get paid for my legal services fees, if you get paid a settlement.
Car accident cases require the kind of careful evaluation and legal research that my office provides. So call me today at (518) 694-1923 for a free telephone consultation!
My coverage area includes representing injury victims in the Albany, Schenectady, Saratoga, Rensselaer, Greene, Oneida, Fulton, Montgomery and Herkimer County Supreme Courts.
