We Know How Brooklyn Car Accident Claims Work
Brooklyn streets are some of the busiest in New York City, with traffic from delivery trucks, taxis, rideshare drivers, and everyday commuters. That makes accidents not only more likely, but often more complicated — especially when multiple vehicles or commercial parties are involved.
We understand the courts, the traffic conditions, and how insurance companies operate here. Our team will investigate your crash, prove fault, and push for the maximum recovery you’re entitled to.
Types of Brooklyn Car Accident Cases We Handle
Common Crashes and Injuries in Kings County
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are especially common in stop-and-go traffic throughout Brooklyn. Even low-speed accidents can cause whiplash, back injuries, and ongoing neck pain that require long-term care.
T-Bone Accidents
Intersection crashes — particularly in busy areas like Atlantic Avenue or Eastern Parkway — can cause serious side-impact damage. These cases often involve disputed fault, and we know how to gather the evidence that matters.
Pedestrian Accidents
Brooklyn’s density means drivers must share the road with walkers and cyclists. We represent pedestrians hit by cars in crosswalks, on sidewalks, and even in parking lots.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Accidents involving Amazon vans, trucks, or rideshare vehicles like Uber and Lyft often have complex insurance layers. We know how to cut through that red tape and hold the right parties accountable.
Brooklyn Car Accident FAQs
Do I have to file a police report after a car accident in Brooklyn?
Yes. New York law requires a report for any accident involving injury or significant damage. A police report also strengthens your case.
Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible — though your compensation may be reduced.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
You may still be covered under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy. We’ll review your coverage and explore every available path.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally, you have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. But it’s important to start as soon as possible to preserve evidence and witness testimony.
