The Bronx Car Accident Lawyer Helping Crash Victims Across New York

After a car accident, you should not hesitate to secure effective representation you can trust. So many things will be happening at once. You or your loved one is going to need immediate medical care. However, questions will need to be answered to begin working on securing compensation. The insurance companies will not have your best interests at heart, and you deserve to have someone who has been through this process before to help guide you. The Bronx firm of Anthony L. Verrelli & Associates, Attorneys at Law, understand the challenges car accident victims face. We can fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

Dangerous Roads In The Bronx And New York City

Some roads in New York City see more crashes and injuries than others. In the Bronx and nearby boroughs, high-risk areas include:

Bruckner Expressway (I-278): Known for speeding and heavy truck traffic
Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95): One of the most congested roads in the country
Grand Concourse: High pedestrian volume and frequent collisions
Fordham Road and Third Avenue: Busy intersections with crash histories
Major Deegan Expressway (I-87): Site of many rear-end and multicar accidents

While we cannot possibly avoid traversing these roads, it’s good to pay attention to them. Knowing where accidents happen helps us investigate your case and establish liability.

Charting An Effective Recovery

Car accidents and the injuries they cause set people back physically and financially. People need to regain their health and they often need to rebuild financial stability after not being able to work for a period of time. The pressure of lost wages and substantial medical bills can leave people facing an uncertain future.

Let us help you secure compensation for injuries such as:

Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord injury (paraplegia, quadriplegia, partial paralysis)
Neck and back injuries
Broken bones
Amputations

We can help you fight for the full compensation you need to help you afford the best medical care and to provide you with confidence about your financial future.

Understanding New York’s No-Fault Insurance Rules

New York is a no-fault state, which means your own insurance company pays for basic medical expenses and lost wages. This is true no matter who caused the crash. However, you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver if your injuries meet certain legal thresholds.

We can help you understand whether your case qualifies and what compensation may be available beyond your no-fault benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents In The Bronx

Here are some common questions we hear from car accident victims throughout the Bronx and New York City area:

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Your immediate actions following a car accident can significantly impact both your health and your legal claim. Taking the right steps protects your safety and your legal rights:

Move to a safe location if possible and call 911 to report the accident
Request medical assistance even if injuries are not immediately apparent
Document the accident scene with photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions and visible injuries
Collect contact information from all drivers, including names, phone numbers and insurance details
Gather witness contact information, as their testimony may prove valuable for your case
Avoid admitting fault or making statements about how the accident occurred

Contact your insurance company to report the accident, but consider speaking with an attorney before providing detailed recorded statements to insurance adjusters.

What if the other driver does not have insurance? Can I still file a claim?

Uninsured motorist accidents create additional challenges, but you still have options for recovering compensation. Your own auto insurance policy may include uninsured motorist coverage that provides benefits when the at-fault driver lacks insurance or has insufficient coverage limits.

Review your insurance policy carefully to understand your uninsured motorist coverage limits and requirements. You may need to file a claim with your own insurance company, which will then investigate the accident and determine compensation based on the other driver’s fault.

You can also pursue a lawsuit directly against the uninsured driver, though collecting damages may prove difficult if they lack sufficient assets. An experienced attorney can help evaluate whether the at-fault driver has recoverable assets.

What if I was injured in a car accident as a passenger? Can I still file a claim?

Passengers injured in car accidents have multiple options for pursuing compensation since they typically bear no responsibility for causing the collision. Available claim options include:

Filing against the driver of the vehicle you were riding in if their negligence caused the accident
Filing against the driver of another vehicle involved whose actions contributed to the collision
Filing against both drivers if multiple parties share fault for the accident
Using your own auto insurance policy’s medical payments or personal injury protection benefits

Passenger injury claims often result in higher compensation because liability questions are typically clearer and insurance companies cannot reduce compensation based on comparative fault rules.
