I have been going to Ms. Schlesinger for legal matters for nearly two decades. She is always knowledgeable, fair and treats everyone with respect. She is also the rare attorney that listens to her clients, cares about them and is result oriented. I recommend her highly.

I can not begin to emphasize how glad I am that I chose this law firm. Marni has taken such good care of me. During the height of the Pandemic she called me several times to check up on me and my family. She has kept me in the loop about my case all along. My settlement has exceeded far more than I would have ever anticipated. Marni thank you so much for all that you do.

Why Choose Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law

For more than 45 years, our personal injury lawyers have represented victims in all car accidents throughout New York. Our sole focus is on helping the victims of motor vehicle accidents receive total and fair compensation for their damages, even if it means going to trial.

We have a thorough understanding of how auto insurance laws affect each type of accident and how they will be applied based on the specific components of your case. We are fully prepared to handle the most complicated cases and never rush to settle a claim for less than its total value. We do not hesitate to take matters to court when an insurance company refuses to treat you fairly.

Personal Attention and Help with Each Aspect of Your Injury Claim

You must take many steps after a car accident in New York. Some of these steps can be difficult to handle if you are seriously injured, such as promptly filing the necessary “no-fault” claim to ensure your medical expenses and lost wages will be covered.

One thing you should not do is negotiate with insurance companies on your own. At Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law law firm, we will step in, keep you informed and protect your rights.

Common Types of Car Accidents

No two car accidents are the same. Each one is unique in circumstances, injuries, and aftermath. However, there are some similarities between accidents. The most common types of auto accidents include:

• Rear-end accidents – This type of accident can result in extensive damage to both the vehicle and the passengers inside. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries resulting from a rear-end car accident.
• T-bone (side impact) collisions – These occur when the front of a vehicle crashes into the side of another. T-bone accidents often cause substantial damage to cars and frequently result in severe injuries to the driver and passengers, as there is a minimal buffer from the impact.
• Head-on accidents – Also called frontal crashes, head-on collisions occur when vehicles traveling or facing opposite directions collide front to front. Head-on accidents can happen for many reasons, but they are often caused by drunk or distracted driving.
• Sideswipe collisions – This type of accident can occur between two cars heading in the same direction or opposite direction. Sideswipe accidents in the opposite direction are four times more common than those in the same direction.
• Single-vehicle crashes – Single-vehicle accidents only involve one vehicle. Still, they can be caused by the actions of another driver, like in the case of another car running the other off the road. They can be just as severe as those involving multiple vehicles.

Types of Compensation You Can Receive

Figuring out the right amount of compensation you need is challenging. Many factors go into the process, and insurance companies are notorious for offering a low settlement amount. To receive the maximum compensation, you need an experienced car accident attorney to determine the actual value of your claim.

The types of compensation you can receive after an auto accident include:

• Cost of medical treatment, including hospitalization, ambulance fees, medications, doctor visits, and physical therapy
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship and consortium
• Loss of income
• Diminished earning capacity
• Repair or replacement of the vehicle
• Rental car fees
• Punitive damages
• Funeral costs in case of wrongful death

Several variables must be considered when determining the value of your auto accident claim. The insurance companies will evaluate the severity of your injuries, how soon or if you can go back to work, which party is at fault for causing the crash, and many other elements.
