Do I Need a Car Accident Lawyer in New York?
If any of these apply to you, the answer is likely yes:
- The insurance company says the accident was your fault
- You were partially at fault
- You’re being pressured to accept a settlement
- You suffered whiplash, neck pain, or back injuries
- Medical bills are adding up
- You missed work after the crash
New York follows comparative negligence law, which means you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident.
Even If the Police Report Says You Were at Fault
- “Police report says I’m at fault lawyer”
- “Insurance says accident was my fault”
- “Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault in NY?”
Here’s what matters:
Fault does not automatically prevent recovery in New York.
Do not assume you don’t have a case.
Do not let an insurance adjuster make that decision for you.
