A distracted driver hits you in Bushwick, causing broken bones, nerve damage, or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
An overly eager driver tries to overtake another vehicle and then attempts to get back into the left lane entering the westbound Belt Parkway entrance ramp.

What Should I Do if I Was Injured in a Car Accident?

If you or another party were injured in a motor vehicle crash, you must stay at the scene of the accident. New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law requires that drivers immediately notify the police after a traffic collision where someone is injured or killed. Leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries, even if you were not at fault, can result in criminal charges.

If you are involved in a motor vehicle crash where someone was injured or killed, you must:

- Stay at the scene.
- Notify the police.
- Exchange information with other involved parties.
- Seek emergency medical treatment for your injuries.
- If able, take pictures and document anything that happened before, during, or immediately after the accident.
- Contact an experienced New York City car accident attorney.

Remember, it is not your job to determine fault after an accident. You should not make any statements to the other parties or to an insurance company without first speaking with an attorney. Never accept a settlement without first having it reviewed by an attorney. Insurance companies will often try to get you to settle for far less than your case is worth.

Car Accident FAQs

Do I Have A Case?

While every car accident case is different, there are several factors that may determine your ability to file a claim for damages against a negligent driver. To determine if you should bring a personal injury lawsuit, contact Ajlouny Injury Law to speak directly with a New York City car accident lawyer.

1. Are you injured?

To bring a suit for personal injury after a car accident, you must show that you have actual physical harm that resulted from the crash, not just property damage. Serious injuries that may result in liability can include but are not limited to broken bones, burn injuries, catastrophic injuries, paralysis, soft tissue injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, and wrongful death.

2. Did you immediately seek medical attention?

If you are injured in a car accident, you need to seek immediate medical attention. Failure to be seen by a doctor could affect your right to recovery. Once under the care of a physician, you should not stop treatment until advised to do so. If you retain an attorney to represent you, they will want to see copies of all medical records related to your injuries.

In the immediate aftermath of a sudden crash, your body may be in shock, and you may not realize the full extent of your injuries. It is imperative to be evaluated by emergency medical personnel to determine if there was any internal damage.

3. When did the accident occur?

Under New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) Section 214, you have only three years from the date of the accident to bring a claim for personal injury. Failure to bring a claim within the statute of limitations can result in a denial of your claim and bar your right to recovery.

4. Were you partially at-fault for the accident?

In New York, even if you were partially at fault for the accident or had contributory negligence, you may still be entitled to recover damages for personal injury. Your recovery may be diminished in proportion to your fault. To further understand New York’s shared fault law, contact our office at (718) 233-9313 or text the attorney directly at (516) 410-4090.

5. Should I Accept an Insurance Settlement?

No. You should always consult with a New York City car accident attorney first. Insurance companies want to settle your case as quickly as possible for the least amount of money.

Manipulation tactics include:

- Discounting your injuries.
- Giving low-ball offers in an attempt to devalue your claim.
- Recording statements without your knowledge.
- Twisting your words to protect their insured.

6. I Was the Passenger in a Car That Was Rear-ended, Do I Have a Case?

Most likely, yes. If you were a passenger injured in a motor vehicle crash, you might be entitled to compensation for your injuries from any negligent parties. You should always have your case reviewed by an attorney prior to accepting a settlement from an insurance company or signing anything related to the accident.

7. Do I Need a Lawyer If I Was Injured in an Auto Accident?

It is always recommended that you consult a New York City car accident attorney if you were injured in a collision. At Ajlouny Injury Law, we provide free legal advice for injury victims. Let us help you determine if you should pursue a lawsuit against a negligent part.

8. How long do I have to file a lawsuit in New York State?

New York CPLR 214(4), if anyone was injured in a car accident -- that includes a driver, passenger, motorcycle rider, bicyclist, or pedestrian -- they must get their lawsuit filed within three years of the date of the crash.
