Vehicle Accident Litigation

Experiencing a vehicle accident in the bustling streets of NYC can be a profoundly distressing and challenging ordeal. If you find yourself injured in a vehicular accident, there's a possibility you may be eligible to seek compensation. We urge you to reach out to the seasoned, dedicated, and well-informed New York City vehicle accident attorneys at Mark David Shirian P.C.

Car accident victims often endure severe injuries, encompassing fractured bones, concussions, deep lacerations, and, tragically, even a loss of mobility. Those who have sustained such serious injuries due to car accidents are entitled to seek compensation, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs.

When you're injured in a car accident, the critical next step involves the review of your claim by an insurance company. These companies deploy skilled lawyers to safeguard their interests, aiming to minimize the compensation payout. You deserve a legal team with a specialized focus on such cases to advocate for you and safeguard your rights.

The meticulous assessment undertaken by insurance companies determines the extent of their willingness to pay in order to resolve your claim. Enlisting an experienced car accident attorney ensures that insurance companies don't shortchange you with minimal compensation.

At Mark David Shirian P.C., our attorneys spring into action as soon as you engage our services, relentlessly pursuing your case throughout the entire legal process. We prioritize consistent communication with our clients, keeping you well-informed about the progress of your claim. From the outset, we diligently investigate all potential factors contributing to your car crash, obtaining critical evidence, identifying witnesses, securing essential medical documentation, and meticulously preparing for potential trial proceedings. Moreover, we are committed to securing maximum compensation on your behalf, covering:

Current and future medical expenses and healthcare costs
Pain and suffering endured
Lost wages
Other forms of available relief

However, securing this compensation is a challenging task without proficient legal representation. Insurance companies often challenge liability and downplay the seriousness of your injuries in an effort to reduce the compensation amount. These companies routinely employ tactics to undermine victims of car accidents, even when it's evident that you are the injured party. They may cast doubt on who was at fault for the accident, despite clear evidence.

With an experienced attorney by your side, you can identify if insurance companies are resorting to victim-blaming strategies and fight for the rightful compensation you deserve. An adept attorney will:

Conduct a thorough investigation into the accident
Collect crucial evidence, such as video footage and witness testimony
Construct a robust case proving your innocence
Establish fault where it truly lies
Negotiate effectively with insurance companies
Accurately assess and present your injuries to maximize compensation in your accident claim

Litigation in Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents consistently rank as a leading cause of serious injuries and fatalities in the United States annually. Despite advances in technology and enhanced vehicle safety measures, car accidents continue to be a frequent occurrence. Indeed, car accident-related claims and lawsuits constitute one of the most common types of civil tort cases pursued by attorneys today. It's important to note that not all car accidents lead to litigation. No-Fault laws in New York typically govern bodily injury claims in cases where there are no injuries or the injuries are not deemed severe. Conversely, the more severe the injuries resulting from a car accident, the greater the likelihood of a successful recovery.

Automobile accidents generally fall under the category of tort cases, primarily rooted in the fundamental principles of negligence. Negligence is typically defined as a failure to exercise ordinary care, meaning the absence of the level of caution that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise under similar circumstances. Negligence can stem from both actions taken that a reasonably prudent person would not have taken and from failing to take actions that a reasonably prudent person would have taken under the same circumstances.

Statute of Limitations

In New York, the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit related to injuries resulting from a vehicle accident is three years from the date of the accident. Additionally, individuals may be entitled to have their medical expenses and lost earnings resulting from a vehicle accident covered by the applicable No-Fault Insurance policy. To obtain insurance coverage through the No-Fault system, specific information and forms must be submitted to the appropriate No-Fault Insurance provider within a limited time frame following a motor vehicle accident. In New York, the period for filing No-Fault benefit claims is 30 days from the accident date. Failure to provide all required information within these specified time limits can result in the denial of an injured person's right to payment for essential medical expenses and lost earnings. Furthermore, failing to initiate a lawsuit within the statute of limitations will preclude any possibility of recovery, regardless of the merits of the case.
