Our Firm has multiple Attorneys that Specialize in Car Accidents

Finding a car accident attorney in New York is fairly easy. Open up the Yellow Pages or do a quick Google search and you’ll find hundreds of legal professionals that advertise their expertise in the area of auto accident lawsuits. What you will not find when you search that way is any indication of the size or experience of the team that is behind the lead attorney. Led by Jeffrey J. Shapiro, our firm has over twenty-five years experience, and is considered by many to be one of the best legal staffs in New York City.

It’s important to hire a good personal injury attorney after you’ve been in a car accident, particularly if you’ve sustained any kind of physical injuries as a result of the crash. That attorney can be the finest in New York City, but he’ll need to have some kind of support if you expect to see a settlement any time soon. Each of the lawyers in our office has a specific area of expertise that complements the skills of others on the team. This combination of specialties is what makes us the successful firm that we are.

Wading through the complexity of some of the laws involved in a car accident case often requires a number of man-hours before the proper arguments and precedents for a case can be found. A car accident lawyer working solo can easily become overwhelmed, but a team working together can get results in a timely fashion. By delegating responsibility, our firm is able to put a case together in a matter of days and get you the settlement you need before you experience a financial hardship.

What were the circumstances of your car accident? In some cases, the issue of responsibility is clear, while in others it can be uncertain. Usually, if you get hit from behind it’s the other driver’s fault, but there are exceptions. Hit a parked car and you will have to pay for damages, unless you hit a door on that parked car that is open in a moving lane of traffic. The other party will normally be liable for damages in that circumstance, but what if they are injured in the collision? Who pays for that? For answers to these and other questions, give us a call.
