How We Help
If it happened on the road, we can likely connect you with an attorney who's handled it. Common cases we help with include:
Hit while riding, or as a pedestrian struck by a delivery e-bike or scooter.
Injured as a passenger, driver, or in a collision with an Uber, Lyft, or yellow cab.
Struck while crossing the street, in a crosswalk, or on the sidewalk.
The other driver fled — you may still be able to recover compensation.
These have a strict 90-day notice deadline — time matters even more.
Injured by a driver who was impaired, texting, or otherwise negligent.

Beyond Car Accidents
Car accidents are our focus, but as a lawyer for personal injury referral service, we connect families across New York with attorneys who take on the full range of personal injury matters — many involving workplace and jobsite injuries.
Falls, scaffolding collapses, and equipment injuries on job sites — including Labor Law §240/§241 claims.
Injuries from unsafe stairs, icy sidewalks, wet floors, or poorly maintained property.
Injuries in kitchens, factories, and warehouses — beyond what workers' comp alone covers, if a third party was at fault.
Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or birth injuries caused by a provider's negligence. Shorter deadline — 2½ years generally.
Compassionate representation for families who lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence. Deadline is generally 2 years.
Injuries from an aggressive or improperly restrained dog, at a home, a business, or in public.
Deadlines vary significantly by case type — medical malpractice and wrongful death claims have notably shorter windows than the 3-year general rule. Confirm your exact deadline with an attorney.
We can likely connect you with an attorney for cases beyond what's shown here. Describe what happened and we'll tell you honestly if we can help.

News & Insights
We track notable law changes, court rulings, and safety regulations affecting injury claims, reviewed by an attorney before publishing.
A few key steps in the first hours and days after a crash can make or break an injury claim. Get medical attention even if you feel fine, get a police report, and remember New York's 30-day deadline to file a no-fault application (Form NF-2) for medical benefits — regardless of who caused the accident.
Many people assume being partly at fault means they have no case — in New York, that's usually wrong. Under CPLR §1411, New York follows "pure comparative negligence": even if you're found 70% at fault, you can still recover the remaining 30% of your damages, reduced in proportion to your share of fault.
A pedestrian struck by a vehicle is typically covered by the driver's no-fault insurance for initial medical bills, but the same 30-day filing deadline still applies. Fault isn't always clear-cut either — New York's comparative negligence rule means partial fault on your part doesn't automatically disqualify you from compensation.
New York Assembly Bill A5053 would raise the state's minimum liability limits from $25,000/$50,000 to $50,000/$100,000 per accident — the first proposed increase since 1995. The bill remains pending in the Assembly Insurance Committee as of this writing.
In Flanders v. Goodfellow, New York's highest court ruled that dog bite victims can now sue for negligence, not just strict liability — overturning a 2006 precedent that had barred negligence claims. Victims no longer need to prove a dog had a known history of aggression to recover damages.

Common Questions
Nothing up front. Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning their fee is a percentage of what they recover for you. If they don't win, you don't pay attorney's fees.
Yes. Your right to compensation after an accident does not depend on immigration status. We do not ask about it, and it has no bearing on your case.
New York is a no-fault state — after a car accident, you generally have 30 days to file a no-fault application (Form NF-2) to access medical benefits regardless of who caused the crash. Missing it can jeopardize those benefits, separate from your right to later sue for pain and suffering.
Generally three years from the date of the accident under New York CPLR §214. If a city bus, MTA vehicle, or other government entity was involved, a separate notice of claim is typically required within 90 days — much shorter. Confirm your exact deadline with an attorney.
