Car Accidents

Car accidents kill and injure people every day. There are more cars on the road today than ever before. In New York State, people are driving 35% more miles than just 10 years ago. As a result, motor vehicle and car accident related injuries and deaths are on the rise. This fact was confirmed by a recent U.S. Department of Transportation study that demonstrated a marked increase in car and truck related accidents, injuries and deaths.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to money damages. In New York State, the law provides that you can recover money damages, including reimbursement for: medical expenses; lost wages; pain and suffering; mental anguish; physical impairment and/or disfigurement. Even if your injuries are relatively minor, damages may still be available to you -- including recouping your property damage.

New York State No-Fault laws require that you act fast if you have been injured in a motor vehicle or car accident. The law limits the time you have to file the necessary paperwork and applications to protect your rights, and ensure that you are reimbursed for medical expenses and lost wages. Our attorneys and staff will process all of the necessary No-Fault application and related paperwork to make sure you receive all of the benefits to which you are entitled.

Recovering from a car accident is always a difficult, emotional time for you and your loved ones. Insurance companies and adjusters try to prey on the victims of car accidents and their loved ones during their most vulnerable times. That is why you need the aggressive and experienced lawyers at HKPD fighting to protect your rights.
