How do I find a lawyer for a car accident?

Finding a lawyer to represent you in your car accident case requires research—there simply is no way around it. Begin your homework by searching online for car accident lawyers in your area (New York City, Bronx, or Queens, for example).

As you review their websites, check for the following characteristics:

  • Experience in personal injury law—and with car accidents, specifically
  • Results—financial value of settlements and awards
  • Positive testimonials that speak to you

We shall now explore the relevance of each of these selection criteria.

Experience with personal injury and with car accidents

You are looking for a lawyer because you have experienced losses that you need—not just want—to recover. With so much at stake, you cannot afford to hire a lawyer without a proven track record. Look for experience.

Oresky & Associates, PLLC, has been helping the injured people of New York City for over 30 years. We know every turn your case can take, and the knowledge we have gained over these 30 years helps us to deftly navigate those turns.

Our lawyers have handled a broad range of motor vehicle accidents, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and construction site vehicle accidents.

We accept cases from accident victims in all five boroughs—Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island. We also serve Westchester, Suffolk, and Nassau counties.

Results that cover all your damages

A lawyer who leaves nothing on the table

You will want a lawyer who thoroughly evaluates the true value of your damages. This means finding someone who looks beyond past medical receipts and explores future and ongoing costs of treatment, rehabilitation, therapy, and medications.

They should consider not only how much income you have lost during recovery to date, but also how much your income will suffer in the future, perhaps due to your injury diminishing your ability to work—or to work at the same job you once did.

An attorney should talk with experts in the fields of medicine, occupational therapy, economics, and psychology to attach values to all the ways in which your injury has and will continue to cost you.

A lawyer who can negotiate

Finally, a lawyer should show their strong negotiation skills. They will need this ability to battle the insurance companies at the negotiation table and get you the settlement you deserve. Nice is nice, but you need someone who is willing and able to get aggressive with insurers and match them play by play when it comes to negotiating your settlement.

Our car accident clients have received millions in settlements and awards

Consider the following settlements and awards Oresky & Associates, PLLC, has recovered for our car accident victims:

  • $5 million for the family of a pedestrian who died after being hit by a school bus
  • $4.6 million verdict for an individual who suffered injury in a multi-car collision
  • $4.5 million in a wrongful death case for the family of an elderly pedestrian killed in an automobile accident
  • $3.45 million for a person who endured multiple surgeries after being struck by a commercial van
  • $1.9 million verdict for a nursing home employee who suffered injury in an ambulette collision
  • $1.5 million for an individual who was injured as a passenger in an auto accident
  • $1.5 million for a pedestrian who was hit by a car and sustained severe injuries
  • $1.2 million for the family of a hit-and-run accident victim who died from his injuries
  • $1.1 million verdict for a taxicab passenger who sustained injuries in a car accident
  • $1.1 million for the pedestrian victim of a truck accident

Testimonials that speak to the lawyer’s reputation

In real estate, agents always talk “location, location, location.” In the legal industry, you can assess a law firm by “reputation, reputation, reputation.”  Before hiring a lawyer to handle your car accident case, check into the firm’s reputation. Enter their name in Google and see what comes up in terms of ratings and reviews. If anyone has anything negative to say about their experience with the lawyer, you will definitely read it online.

You can also poke around the law firm’s website in search of testimonials. It is a good rule of thumb, that if clients are willing to say good things about a firm, they are being truthful. Of course, the more testimonials, the better.

Also, because finding the right lawyer means different things to different people, testimonials will help you focus your search lens not just on finding the right car accident lawyer, but on finding the right car accident lawyer for you. Testimonials tend to fill in the blanks that will let you know if this is the right firm for you.
