A crash changes your week before it changes your case. There are medical appointments you did not plan for, time away from work, a damaged car, and an insurance adjuster calling before you have had a chance to think. Most people who contact us are not certain they even have a claim. That is the first thing we tell you, plainly and at no cost.

New York's no-fault system pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the collision, which is why an early offer from an insurer is rarely the whole story. Beyond no-fault, a claim can recover economic damages — treatment, lost income, future care — and non-economic damages for pain and for the things you can no longer do. Whether a claim is worth pursuing turns on four things: that the other driver owed you a duty to drive safely, that they fell short of it, that their conduct caused the crash, and that you were genuinely harmed.

We handle car accident claims across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Nassau County — rear-end collisions, T-bone impacts at intersections, sideswipes, and rideshare crashes where the driver was working. We gather the police report, the photographs, the medical records and the witness accounts, and we deal with the adjusters so you do not have to. Insurers assess claims with an eye to paying less; that is their job, and it is not a measure of what your injury is worth. Ajlouny Injury Law has recovered over $500 million for injured New Yorkers, and you speak with an experienced attorney from the first call rather than working through a case manager.

Timing matters. In New York the general limit for filing a car accident injury lawsuit is three years from the date of the crash, and evidence becomes harder to gather long before that — vehicles get repaired, footage is overwritten, memories fade. If you are unsure whether to bring a claim, ask. The consultation is free, advice is available 24/7, and it costs you nothing to find out where you stand.
