Car Accident Attorney in Queens

Car accidents can occur for several reasons. Some of them, like inclement weather, may be beyond the control of drivers. However, there are also plenty of times when drivers are at fault. 

Some of the most common causes of accidents in Queens include:

• Driver inattention or distraction (i.e., distracted driving)
• Following too closely (i.e. tailgating)
• Failure to yield right-of-way
• Unsafe or improper passing, lane change, or lane usage
• Speeding
• Driving while intoxicated

If you’re injured in a car accident due to someone’s negligence, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Contact Morgan & Morgan to learn more about your legal options.

When vehicle collisions occur, it can cause a wide range of injuries. Some people walk away without a scratch, and others suffer only minor scrapes, cuts, and bruises. However, injuries can also be more serious. Some of the most common injuries resulting from crashes include:

• Whiplash and other soft tissue damage
• Head or traumatic brain injury (such as concussion)
• Broken bones (ribs, arms, legs, etc.)
• Internal bleeding
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Amputation

Fatalities can also occur in vehicle collisions. If a loved one is fatally injured in a vehicle wreck, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. A specialist at Morgan & Morgan can review your case.

Although New York is a no-fault state, this means each person involved in an accident must first turn to their insurance provider for compensation, you can hire a car accident attorney to sue a negligent driver in certain instances, such as when your policy won’t cover the extent of injuries and damages, or if significant injury (disfigurement, dismemberment, etc.) or death occur, for example.

Even if you share some portion of the blame for the accident, it doesn’t prevent you from seeking compensation from others deemed at fault.

You may be eligible to receive compensation to cover both your economic and non-economic damages. These damages can include but aren’t limited to:

• Medical bills
• Property damage
• Lost wages

You may also seek compensation for non-monetary damages such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Loss of consortium
