Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my Manhattan car accident case worth?
Case values depend on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term impact on your life. Manhattan car accident settlements can range from tens of thousands for minor injuries to millions for catastrophic cases. We evaluate every case individually during your free consultation.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to make statements that hurt your case or accept lowball offers. Let an experienced attorney handle all communication with insurance companies while you focus on recovery.
What if I was partially at fault for the Manhattan car accident?
New York follows "pure comparative negligence" : you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, so if you're 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
How long does a Manhattan car accident case take?
Straightforward cases may settle in months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability can take 1-2 years or more. We prepare every case for trial, which often leads to better settlements faster because insurance companies know we're serious.
Can sleep apnea be caused by a car accident?
Yes, traumatic brain injuries, cervical spine injuries, and soft-tissue damage to the upper airway structures sustained in a collision can disrupt normal breathing patterns during sleep, and research published in peer-reviewed literature has linked post-traumatic sleep apnea to these mechanisms. If a physician diagnoses sleep apnea following a crash, that condition may qualify as a compensable injury under New York's no-fault system, which requires insurers to cover necessary medical treatment under Insurance Law § 5102. Connecting the diagnosis to the collision typically requires detailed medical records, sleep study results, and expert medical testimony establishing causation. An attorney handling your Manhattan car accident claim can work with treating physicians to document that link and pursue compensation for ongoing treatment costs, lost earnings, and pain and suffering beyond the no-fault threshold.
