Our results speak for themselves:
From highway collisions to intersection crashes, our firm has successfully handled every type of car accident case, achieving maximum compensation for our clients' injuries and suffering.
What makes our firm different is our unique blend of aggressive advocacy, meticulous case preparation, and genuine compassion for our clients. We approach each case with precision, building your claim methodically until we've created an irrefutable argument for maximum compensation.
Insurance companies have teams of attorneys and adjusters working to minimize your claim. Studies show that accident victims who hire a personal injury attorney received settlements 3-4 times larger than those who negotiated directly with insurance companies. At Ajlouny Injury Law, we level the playing field. Our mission is to shift the balance of power back to you—the injured victim—and away from corporate interests that prioritize profits over people.
Unlike high-volume firms that treat your case like just another file, our attorneys carefully manage their caseloads to ensure each client receives the attention, time, and dedication necessary to develop a winning strategy. We dig deeper, investigate thoroughly, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
When you're recovering from injuries, the last thing you need is the added stress of fighting with insurance companies. Here's why working with our experienced New York injury attorneys gives you a significant advantage:
According to industry studies, accident victims represented by attorneys receive settlements that are 3.5 times higher on average than those who handle claims themselves.
We understand New York's complex insurance laws, the serious injury threshold requirements, and how to navigate the unique legal system effectively in all five boroughs.
We have access to accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, and investigators who can strengthen your case by thoroughly examining the accident report and evidence.
Our attorneys have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies and know how to counter their tactics.
If your case goes to trial, you'll have skilled litigators who know how to present your case effectively to a New York jury.
With our contingency fee structure, you pay nothing unless we win your case, allowing you to focus on recovery without financial worry.
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses with a clear objective: to pay as little as possible for claims. Here are some common tactics they use and how we combat them:
Insurance companies often rush to offer you a settlement, which is usually less than fair or full compensation for your injuries. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible before you find out what your claim could really be worth.
Insurers often argue that your injuries existed before the accident or were caused by something else. We work with medical experts to clearly establish the connection between the accident and your injuries.
Some insurers deliberately drag out the claims process, hoping you'll get desperate and accept less. Our firm keeps constant pressure on insurance companies to move your case forward.
Insurers may repeatedly request additional documentation to wear you down or find inconsistencies they can use against you. We manage all communications and ensure proper documentation is provided.
Insurance companies may monitor your activities and social media to find evidence that contradicts your injury claims. We advise clients on how to protect themselves during the claims process.
Adjusters may ask leading questions during recorded statements, trying to get you to say something that undermines your claim. Our lawyers prepare you for and attend these interactions to protect your interests.
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates that human error is responsible for the majority of all crashes. Our experienced New York car accident lawyers have successfully represented clients injured in accidents caused by:
According to the NHTSA, sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds—at 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.
NHTSA reports that every day, about 37 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes—that's one person every 39 minutes.
Speeding has been a factor in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities for more than two decades.
This common error leads to thousands of intersection crashes each year in New York, particularly affecting older drivers and motorcyclists.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that red-light running causes hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries each year.
These maneuvers require careful attention to blind spots and proper signaling, with failures leading to dangerous sideswipe collisions.
Following too closely reduces critical reaction time and is a leading cause of rear-end collisions, which account for approximately 29% of all crashes according to NHTSA.
The NHTSA estimates that drowsy driving was responsible for 91,000 crashes in recent years, resulting in 50,000 injuries and nearly 800 deaths.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, weather-related vehicle crashes kill more people each year than large-scale weather disasters.
We've helped clients recover compensation for all types of injuries, from relatively minor to catastrophic, including:
When we take on your case, we fight for every dollar you deserve, including compensation for:
This includes emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor appointments, medications, medical equipment, and any projected future medical care related to your injuries.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other rehabilitation services that may be needed for months or years following an accident to help you regain function and independence.
Compensation not only for the income you've already lost while recovering, but also for your reduced ability to earn money in the future if your injuries result in permanent limitations.
Monetary compensation for the physical pain and discomfort you've endured and may continue to experience as a result of your injuries.
Compensation for psychological impacts like anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disturbances, and fear of driving that often follow serious accidents.
Additional compensation for permanent limitations or visible scarring that affects your quality of life and self-image.
Damages for your diminished ability to participate in hobbies, sports, recreational activities, and other pleasurable aspects of life that you enjoyed before the accident.
Reimbursement for the repair or replacement of your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the crash.
At Ajlouny Injury Law, we are motivated by one thing: helping our clients rebuild their lives. Our mission is simple: we fight for our clients, we win for our clients, and we're motivated by succeeding for our clients.
From your first consultation through the resolution of your case, you'll experience the Ajlouny difference:
Understanding the laws regarding car accidents in New York is crucial to protecting your rights. Our attorneys have deep knowledge of these complex regulations and how they affect your case:
New York operates under a "no-fault" insurance system, which means that regardless of who caused the accident, your own insurance company pays for medical treatment and other out-of-pocket costs through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. Key aspects include:
For more information on the no-fault system, you can visit the New York State Department of Financial Services website.
To pursue compensation beyond what's available through no-fault insurance (particularly for pain and suffering), New York law requires that you meet what's called the "serious injury" threshold. According to New York Insurance Law §5102(d), a "serious injury" includes:
Our attorneys can evaluate your injuries to determine if they meet this threshold and help you document your case appropriately.
New York follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule (CPLR Article 14-A, Section 1411), which means:
This makes it crucial to have skilled legal representation to minimize your assigned percentage of fault and maximize your recovery.
In New York, you generally have:
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation, which is why contacting an attorney promptly is essential.
When you choose Ajlouny Injury Law to represent you after a car accident in New York, our comprehensive approach includes:
Thorough investigation of the accident scene, vehicles, and circumstances, often deploying investigators within hours of being retained to preserve critical evidence
Collection of critical evidence, including police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, and other data that can reveal vital details about the moments before impact
Consultation with accident reconstruction experts to establish exactly what happened, creating compelling visualizations that can be presented to insurance companies or juries
Detailed documentation of your injuries and their impact on your life, including comprehensive medical records and testimony about how your injuries affect daily activities
Coordination with medical experts to establish the full extent of your injuries and future care needs, including specialists who can testify about long-term prognosis and treatment requirements
Calculation of all damages, both economic and non-economic, using sophisticated financial models to project lifetime costs of injuries
Aggressive negotiation with insurance companies for maximum compensation, backed by meticulously prepared evidence and expert opinions
Court filings and litigation if a fair settlement cannot be reached, including discovery, depositions, and pretrial motions
Trial preparation and representation by experienced litigators who know how to effectively communicate your story to a jury
If you're injured by an uninsured or underinsured driver in New York, you may still have options for recovery through:
A significant percentage of drivers are uninsured or underinsured, making proper insurance coverage particularly important. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate all possible sources of compensation for your injuries.
Even seemingly minor accidents can result in injuries with long-term consequences. Research shows that accident victims who hire an attorney receive settlements 3-4 times larger than those who handle claims on their own. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize compensation or deny valid claims. Having an experienced New York car accident lawyer ensures your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation for all damages. With our contingency fee structure, there's no financial risk in seeking legal representation.
The no-fault system means your own insurance covers your initial medical expenses and some lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. However, this system limits your ability to sue the at-fault driver unless you've suffered a "serious injury" as defined by New York law. Our experienced New York attorneys can help determine if your case qualifies to step outside the no-fault system to pursue additional compensation for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident in New York, don't wait to seek legal representation. The sooner we can begin investigating your case, the stronger your claim will be.
Remember: You pay nothing unless we win your case. Our contingency fee structure means there's no financial risk to getting the quality legal representation you deserve.
