New York City Car Accident Lawyer

Injured by a distracted driver in New York?

The incidence of car accidents resulting from distracted driving has increased in recent years with the use of smart phones and drivers who are driving while texting, talking on the phone, playing with their music devices, GPS devices and other electronic items. The use of these devices has led to a much higher incidence of rear-enders and other collisions as well as pedestrian accidents throughout New York. When the other driver is distracted by an electronic device, putting on makeup, eating, talking, arguing or other distracting behavior, their ability to drive safely is greatly reduced. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury from a distracted driver, a New York City car accident lawyer from Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek can help. Our firm has a combined 60 years of experience in getting financial awards for the injured, and we can evaluate your claim to determine how to press forward with a claim to recover damages.

Driver Distraction & Car Accidents in New York

The first and most critical step in any car accident case is to contact HKD so that we can evaluate your case. Our state's no-fault insurance can make the process slightly more complex; you have the right to file a lawsuit when serious injuries have taken place. Evaluating your personal situation should be done immediately after the injury accident so that we carefully protect all the evidence and your right to file a claim against the negligent driver. Never allow an insurance company access to your medical records without first getting legal representation. How this process is managed from the beginning can have a significant impact on the outcome of your injury claim.

Our firm is committed to seeking the maximum possible compensation for our clients, and we have an extensive history of recovering high value awards in all types of car accident cases, including those in which a distracted driver was at fault. We can evaluate your case and advise you what can be done to proceed with your claim, and how we will manage it for you. This will allow you the time to recover while we fight on your behalf, whether in negotiating with the insurance company or in court. We press for all damages that you deserve, including both economic and non-economic losses, both present and future.
