Throgs Neck Car Accident Lawyer
Car accident injuries can prove physically, emotionally, and financially draining to victims and their loved ones. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the legalities of your injury claim, Douglas & London is here to help. Our law firm is proud to serve residents of Throgs Neck, helping clients from all walks of life achieve the justice and monetary compensation they deserve.
It is ill-advised to negotiate with an insurance company without talking to an experienced car accident lawyer first. Adjustors may appear to be on your side, but they work for insurance companies, not you. Because of New York’s No-Fault laws, understanding your rights after a motor vehicle collision can be confusing. If you or a loved one suffered an injury, it costs nothing to discuss your legal remedies with us.

New York’s Comparative Fault rules
New York is one of 13 states that operates under a comparative fault law, which means that you have the opportunity to recover compensation in a personal injury claim, even if you share part of the blame. If the total amount of damages awarded is $100,000, and you are found to be 15 percent at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced accordingly. In this case, the net payout would be $85,000.
While comparative fault rules can be helpful in car accident claims involving multiple parties, it can also prove problematic when defendants wrongly assign blame. This is where our skilled car accident lawyers can be invaluable.
When applicable, we enlist the services of economists, life care planners, medical specialists, and accident reconstructionists to build a compelling claim for damages and assign liability where it is due.
