White Plains, NY - What follows after a car accident is traumatic and overwhelming, whether that's worrying about recovering from severe injuries or the medical or rehabilitation costs. On top of that, a victim's vehicle may need repairs, and they may need to put in additional time and money to find an alternative way to travel, secure a reliable mechanic, and take time off work. If the car accident was the result of someone else's negligence, hiring an attorney may help ease some of the worry and ease the road to recovery.
Law Offices of Norman Gershon is on a mission to maximize victims' damages by going after insurance companies, large corporations, and at-fault parties responsible for harm. With over 35 years of securing settlements and verdicts for victims in New York, Attorney Norman Gershon has become known throughout the tri-state area as a 'go-to' trial lawyer who delivers results, no matter the case's complexity.
Even though insurance companies were created to ensure financial security by covering accidents, theft, or natural disasters, most carriers operate to protect their bottom line, putting victims at a disadvantage. Some car accident claims can be straightforward, but others, where the victim may not be aware of how much they could recover, are fought extensively by insurance companies, through their adjusters and attorneys, to deny or limit the value of the claim.
Fortunately, under New York law, an attorney can pursue an insurance company if the victim was injured by other motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, truck drivers, government/transit agencies, employers of negligent parties, and manufacturers of defective vehicle products. Attorneys fight for a victim's right to out-of-pocket expenses, including medical bills, car repairs, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, and other economic/non-economic expenses.
When proving liability, an attorney considers personal injury protection (PIP) in in-state insurance policies, which covers expenses up to the victim's policy limit (usually $50,000), and since New York is a no-fault state, a victim's PIP coverage pays out first. If the medical expenses exceed the limit, they're still free to sue the at-fault party or the negligent party's insurance carrier for additional damages.
However, if it's proven that the victim was also at-fault for the car accident, then the comparative negligence rules apply, where their liability will be reduced proportionally by the negligence of the other party (for example, if the victim is found to be 20% at-fault for the accident, their damages are reduced by 20%).
Through decades of representing car accident victims across New York, Law Offices of Norman Gershon continues to advocate for individuals facing financial, physical, and emotional hardships after serious accidents. The firm's commitment to protecting injured victims and challenging insurance companies that attempt to minimize or deny valid claims has contributed to more than $100 million recovered through settlements and verdicts, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted legal advocate throughout the tri-state area.
