Types of Queens Motor Vehicle Accidents

There are many types of accidents that lead to intense injuries. Our legal team has helped people injured in any of the following:

In addition, some specific types of accidents we have experience in include:

  • Head-On Collisions: This is a very dangerous type of accident when two cars slam into each other head-on. These wrecks typically happen when one motorist drifts into oncoming traffic due to distraction, fatigue, or impairment.
  • Side-Impact Collisions: Also called “T-bones,” these accidents occur when the front of one car slams into the side of another, forming the letter T. They are common at intersections when one driver runs a red light, or in parking lots.
  • Rear-End Collisions: One car slams into the car in front of it, often at intersections or in parking lots. Rear-end collisions often cause whiplash, facial injuries, and fractures.
  • Single-Vehicle Accidents: A car can crash without being hit by another car. Often, a car is run off the road or takes quick defensive action to avoid a collision. In other cases, road defects are to blame.
  • Multi-Car Accidents: Many motor vehicles can be involved in a chain reaction accident, often on the freeway when traffic is heavy. Traffic is so congested that when one vehicle loses control, it ends up causing multiple crashes.
  • Rollovers: A motor vehicle can flip on its side or roof when it trips on something, like a gravel shoulder, or one side goes up an incline.

Whatever the details of your wreck, contact Gary Rosenberg today to discuss whether you have a possible case.

Regular Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Having handled countless car accident cases, we recognize the major contributing factors:

  • Texting while driving
  • Going too fast for conditions
  • Following another car too closely
  • Refusing to yield
  • Intoxication
  • Fatigue
  • Refusing to obey traffic signals
  • Road defects
  • Poor maintenance
  • Motor vehicle defects

Once we understand what caused your wreck, we can seek compensation from at-fault parties. There might be another driver or the government in charge of the road.

New York’s Insurance Laws

New York is one of the few “no-fault” insurance states in the country. Under our laws, all motorists must carry no-fault insurance which they can access for immediate benefits following a wreck. In fact, the state requires at least $50,000 in personal injury protection benefits.

Motorists also must carry both bodily injury and property damage liability coverage. You can make a claim on the other driver’s liability coverage if they are at fault for the crash. You should also have uninsured motorist coverage in the event an at-fault driver is uninsured or flees the scene.

Trying to figure out which insurance to use is confusing. Many people need to focus completely on getting well, not juggling different insurance adjusters and completing endless paperwork. Our Queens motor vehicle accident attorney can help.

Compensation for Your Collision

Our clients have sought economic and non-economic damages when involved in a crash.

  • Economic damages include:
  • Medical care
  • Future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Non-economic damages are for things like:
  • Suffering
  • Physical pain
  • Emotional distress
  • Disability
  • Disfigurement

Noneconomic damages are a key part of any settlement. Most often, it’s noneconomic damages which are most in dispute. We will help you collect evidence to document your pain and inconvenience so you make a strong case to receive top dollar.
