Long Island Highway Car Accident Lawyers | Harrison Law Group, P.C.

Experienced Highway Car Crash Attorneys Helps Victims Receive Maximum Compensation Throughout Suffolk County and Nassau County

A car accident is always a dangerous and frightening situation but it can be even worse if that accident happens on the highway. That is because there are many different factors that can make the accident much worse than if it happened on a city street or road. That means anyone who experiences an accident on a highway or freeway faces potentially more problems and setbacks. That is why they need an experienced personal injury law firm to represent them.

At the Harrison Law Group, our personal injury lawyers have over forty years of combined experience that they use to help Long Island highway accident victims get the compensation that they need. That compensation is needed to take care of accident-related expenses like medical bills, repair bills, lost wages, and more. When you think about how serious a highway car accident can be, those expenses can be substantial, which is why our services can be of help to you. So contact us if you have been in a highway car accident. We will take care of you.

Why Highway Car Accidents are so Dangerous

One of the reasons why a car accident on a highway can be more dangerous is that everyone is likely to be traveling at much higher speeds on the freeway than they would on city streets. And we are all well aware that the faster a vehicle is traveling, the greater the potential damage. Those higher speeds also mean that it can be harder to react to obstacles in the way. So if a piece of debris falls from a truck, it can be harder to swerve around it when driving at 60 MPH than if you were driving at 30 MPH. 

The greater number of vehicles on the freeway is also a potent factor. The reason is that it is much more likely that a chain reaction can occur on a highway where there is a long unbroken chain of vehicles that can collide with each other. That is why multi-car pile-ups usually happen on freeways rather than city streets where traffic lights, stop signs, and fewer lanes prevent long lines of cars from happening. 

Further exacerbating things is the fact that it might take emergency services a longer time to reach a highway car accident than if the accident happened on a city street. Any one of these factors can make highway car accidents more dangerous, but it is far more likely that several of them will be occurring at once when a highway car accident happens, which is why those types of accidents are so dangerous.

Highway Car Accident Rates

While highway car accidents are certainly very dangerous, you might be relieved to know that they are among the less common types of vehicle accidents. They may seem more common because their destructiveness gets a lot of attention, but they occur less frequently than accidents in other locations. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), most car accidents occur within ten or twenty-five miles of the home. 

One of the main reasons is that people tend to have a sense of security when driving on roads they are very familiar with. As a result, they let their guard down and do not always follow standard safety procedures like buckling up. Since these types of accidents are typically less sensational than highway car accidents, they do not get as much attention.

Contact the Harrison Law Group if You Have Been in a Highway Car Accident in Long Island

While highway car accidents are not as frequent as accidents that take place in other locations, they can be far more dangerous. That increased danger means that any driver involved in such an accident may require greater compensation. The best way of getting the compensation needed is to retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney. 

At the Harrison Law Group, our attorneys have the experience you need to get the compensation you deserve. Contact us as soon as you are able and we will fight to make sure that you do not have to pay out of pocket to cover the expenses caused by a highway car accident.

What is Personal Injury?

If you’re injured as a result of a negligent third party, you may be entitled to compensation due to the damages you’ve experienced — either directly through the responsible party or their insurance company. An experienced New York personal injury lawyer will focus on tort law while seeking economic and non-economic damages for their clients — whether or not the target is a multi-million dollar award.

Personal injuries are classified as injuries to the body, mind, and emotions of an individual. When you suffer an injury because of another party, you experience turmoil, and your quality of life will change. Some victims experience loss of enjoyment of life, and even depression.

It’s important to speak with mindful attorneys who have the wisdom to handle your case effectively. Personal injury suits are filed against individuals or entities that cause harm due to recklessness, negligence, misconduct, or liability.

What Sets Us Apart?

Our attorneys and staff are competent, compassionate, and committed to seeking the maximum fair and appropriate compensation for all of our clients. We fight to win, not to quickly settle and move on to the next case. Our firm will make sure that you are properly advised of all of your options while giving you the proper legal advice to make the right decision for yourself and your family.

Types of Personal Injury

Personal injuries can refer to injuries sustained due to dental malpractice, product liability, or assault claims, but they more commonly involve the following types of injuries:

Car Accidents

When your vehicle collides with another vehicle, a pedestrian, an animal, debris, or another stationary obstruction such as a tree, pole, or building, you may face significant injuries and expenses that often include medical treatment and vehicle repairs. Following a car accident that was no fault of your own, it is important to immediately begin working with a New York personal injury lawyer to seek fair and appropriate compensation.

Truck Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents involving a truck or tractor-trailer and caused by the recklessness of others will present additional complex factors that are not present in a regular car accident case. You can be certain that there will be attorneys representing the truck driver, which is why you should partner with a New York personal injury lawyer at our law office immediately.

Motorcycle Accidents

When your motorcycle is involved in a motor vehicle accident at no fault of your own, you will need help in your fight to be fairly compensated in your case. As a client of our law firm, you can be confident that we are bringing the fight to the insurance company.

Premises Liability

An injury from an accident caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property often involves a fall on a slippery or uneven surface. Other types of negligence or dangerous circumstances may also lead to an injury or death. In some cases, your accident could amount to a multi-million dollar settlement. Our law office of NY accident attorneys will be happy to guide you through this process as our client.

Dog Bite

Dog owners are generally determined to be liable if their dog hurts you or anyone else. New York personal injury law in this situation provides a means to seek compensation for your medical expenses, your pain and suffering, & much more.

Slip and Fall

A property owner could be liable for damages if you slip, trip, and fall on their property due to their negligence. Working with a qualified New York personal injury lawyer in this situation is important because the Queens, Nassau County, Suffolk County, or Long Island property owner that you file a claim against will certainly be represented by law firms who are trying to dismiss or settle your case for as little as possible.

Construction Accidents

An injury sustained due to working on a construction site can be life-changing or deadly. In many cases, such an injury will prevent your ability to continue working for some duration of time. Workers’ compensation is available for these types of accidents. Depending on the details of your case, you may also be able to file a lawsuit.

Wrongful Death

Death caused by negligence or intentional actions of another party is known as wrongful death. The NY accident attorneys at our law office are experienced in these cases and are ready to help you fight for the money you need.

Medical Malpractice

When you work with a licensed medical professional, you have every right to expect that they will take prudent and cautious steps to help you work towards a successful recovery. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The New York personal injury attorneys at our law firm are ready to help you fight for fair compensation.
