Car Accidents

Focused representation for drivers, passengers, and families after a New York car accident.

Car Accident Claims in New York

A car accident can leave you dealing with injuries, medical bills, lost income, and an insurance company focused on paying as little as possible. At Shim Law Group, P.C., we handle the claim from start to finish so you can focus on recovering. We investigate how the crash happened, document your injuries, and pursue the full value of your case.

New York is a no-fault insurance state, so your own insurer generally pays for initial medical care and a portion of lost earnings regardless of who caused the crash. When your injuries are serious, you may also have a claim against the at-fault driver. We know how these rules interact and what it takes to meet the state's serious injury threshold.

Common Causes We See

  • Distracted driving, including texting behind the wheel
  • Speeding and aggressive driving
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Failure to yield, running red lights, and unsafe lane changes
  • Rear-end and intersection collisions

Car Accidents Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

Because New York is a no-fault state, your own insurer generally covers your initial medical bills and part of your lost wages regardless of fault. If your injuries are serious, you may also be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.

The general deadline for a personal injury lawsuit in New York is three years, but no-fault benefits have much shorter notice deadlines, often around 30 days from the accident. It is best to speak with an attorney quickly.

You may still have options through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. We review your policy to identify every available source of recovery.

It is best to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement or accepting an early offer. Adjusters often use those conversations to reduce or deny claims.

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront, and our fee comes out of your settlement or award, so you do not pay unless we win.
