Long Island Car Accident Injury Attorney

Some much more severe accidents can require hospitalizations, surgeries, and reconstruction before recovery can be complete. In these cases, the accident claim reaches tens of millions of dollars.

Some of these serious accidents we have dealt with include:

• Head-On Collisions — when these occur at high speed, they usually cause head trauma, neck injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, and many others
• T-Bone Collisions — when a car is hit broadside, the proximity to the passengers often results in catastrophic injuries
• Impact injuries — these occur when a passenger strikes the dashboard, steering wheel, headrest, windshield, or other parts of the vehicle. Whiplash, head trauma, broken bones, and injury to internal organs are some of the common injuries we see
• Penetration accidents — open injuries such as cuts, lacerations, or punctures by metal and glass are also common, causing serious and painful wounds
• Rollovers — a rollover can occur for many reasons, but it is often a serious crash. Whiplash, spinal cord injuries, and paralysis are almost always the result
• Rear-End Collisions — at high speeds, rear injuries can cause whiplash and impact injuries, among others

Sometimes, a car can roll over or collide with another, but a fault with the car exacerbates the problem. For example, failure of an airbag to deflate, a seat belt to tighten, or brake failure are all grounds to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

Other car accident cases we regularly handle include the following:

You must prove that the other party caused your injury to have a successful personal injury claim. First, you must show that the other party owed you a duty of care and breached it. New York defines duty of care as “ A person in control of a property using reasonable care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition for the protection of all persons whose presence is reasonably foreseeable.” This includes stopping at red lights. If a driver runs a red light, he or she has breached the duty of care. That breach put you and other motorists at risk.

Finally, you must prove that by breaching the duty of care, the other party caused your injuries. Using the previous example, you can prove causation if a driver runs a red light, hits your car, and breaks your leg. By running the red light, the driver caused an accident. The accident resulted in a broken leg. This is a straightforward example, but personal injury cases are generally much more complicated. That’s why hiring a New York Vehicle Accident attorney is vital.
