Injured in a Car Crash? We Can Help.

Have you suffered a serious injury in a car accident? Have you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligent driving? Are you wondering what your rights are and how you can protect those rights?

At The Law Office of Richard M. Kenny in New York City, we represent people who have been seriously injured and the families of those who have been killed in car accidents. Don’t hesitate to contact us for a no-obligation consultation with experienced trial attorney Richard M. Kenny.

Taking Immediate Steps to Preserve Your Rights

If you’ve been seriously injured in a car accident in New York, time is of the essence. Legal deadlines and aggressive actions by insurance companies mean that the sooner you call a lawyer, the greater the likelihood that you will be able to obtain fair compensation.

Within 30 days of a car accident, you must file a no-fault application to protect your claims for medical bills and lost earnings. Our office can help you prepare this application.

The other driver’s insurance company will likely try to get you to sign a release and accept a settlement check. The offer may seem tempting, but may not fully compensate you for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term damages.

Many serious injuries, particularly neck and back injuries, are not immediately obvious. It is best to consult an experienced attorney and get a full medical evaluation before you decide what to do next.

Investigating and Documenting Your Case

Our firm helps car crash victims and their families pursue compensation for serious injuries and fatalities caused by the negligence of other drivers. Our first step will be to immediately obtain a copy of the police report. If necessary, we will work with a skilled investigator to obtain evidence from the accident scene and interview witnesses.

Although most personal injury cases are settled out of court, we prepare every case for trial. That means carefully documenting every aspect of your claim so we can persuade a jury to award you the compensation you deserve and have the verdict hold up on appeal.

To discuss your car accident injury claim with a lawyer who is prepared to take immediate steps to protect your rights and who will follow through on whatever is necessary to obtain a fair outcome, contact us today.
