Frequently Asked Questions about Recreational Vehicle Accidents in Long IslandĀ
Insurance for RVs can be quite complex. The law in New York requires self-propelled RVs to be insured. However, the case is different for a towed RV. Towed RVs are usually covered under the driverās regular automobile insurance. This, however, is only the case when the RV trailer is listed on the declarations page. In addition, some insurance providers will not cover towed RVs. There are others that will only provide partial cover for the towed RV. Unfortunately, many drivers believe that their towed RVs are covered under their insurance. When they are involved in an accident, they soon find out that their insurance does not extend coverage to the RV.
These are just a few of the complications that can arise when seeking compensation for an accident involving an RV. An experienced Long Island recreational vehicle accident lawyer from the Harrison Law Group, P.C. can help you navigate these and other complications that may arise. We will fight to recover maximum compensation on your behalf.

An experienced New York personal injury lawyer will focus on tort law while seeking economic and non-economic damages for their clients ā 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.
Itās 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.

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 elseās 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. Workersā 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.
