Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my Bronx car accident case worth?
Case values depend on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and impact on your life. Bronx car accident settlements range from tens of thousands for minor injuries to millions for catastrophic cases. We provide a free evaluation to assess your case's potential value.
What if I was partly at fault for the Bronx car accident?
New York's "pure comparative negligence" law allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, so if you're 30% at fault, you can still recover 70% of your damages.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
No. First offers are almost always lowball attempts to close your case cheaply before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Never accept any offer without consulting an experienced Bronx car accident lawyer who can evaluate whether it's fair.
What if the other driver fled the scene (hit and run)?
Hit-and-run accidents can still be compensated through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We also investigate these cases thoroughly, sometimes witnesses or surveillance footage can identify the responsible driver.
Can a car accident cause spinal stenosis?
Trauma from a car accident can accelerate or worsen pre-existing spinal stenosis, and in some cases a severe impact can directly cause narrowing of the spinal canal through herniated discs, bone fractures, or ligament damage that compress the neural structures. New York courts have long recognized the "eggshell plaintiff" doctrine, which means a driver or other at-fault party takes an injured person as they find them, so a pre-existing degenerative condition doesn't reduce the at-fault party's liability for making it worse. If you were injured in a Bronx collision and are now experiencing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness, your medical records and imaging will be central to connecting the trauma to your spinal condition. An attorney can work with your treating physicians to build that causation record and pursue a claim under New York's no-fault system, Insurance Law § 5102, as well as a third-party tort claim if your injuries meet the serious injury threshold.
