Car Accident Lawyer Near Me

Start with the office closest to where you live or where the crash happened. Licatesi Law Group has four: Uniondale in Nassau County, Brooklyn on Kings Highway, Corona in Queens, and Teaneck in New Jersey. Ask any lawyer you consider how they handle New York no-fault claims, whether they try cases, who will work on your file, and how the fee works. Call (516) 227-2662 for a free consultation.

A local lawyer knows where your case is likely to be filed, how to get the police and DMV records, which hospitals and providers hold your records, and where video is likely to exist along the road where you were hurt. New York and New Jersey also have different insurance and lawsuit rules, so it matters which state the crash happened in.

Bring what you have: the police report or report number, photos of the scene, vehicles and injuries, your insurance card and the other driver's details, witness names, medical records and bills, any letters from insurers, and proof of time missed from work. Missing documents are fine; we can request them.

Call (516) 227-2662 to schedule a free consultation at the nearest office. Some things should not wait: written notice to your no-fault insurer is due within 30 days of the accident unless a delay is justified in writing, and private video near a crash is often overwritten.

You can meet us at any of our four offices in Uniondale, Brooklyn, Corona or Teaneck. If your injuries make travel difficult, tell us when you call and we will discuss how to hold the consultation.

We represent people injured in car accidents throughout the five boroughs of New York City, Nassau and Suffolk counties, and New Jersey. The office table on this page shows which office and local page fit each area.

The consultation is free, and we work on a contingency fee: no fee unless there is a recovery. The fee percentage and how case expenses are handled are set out in the written retainer agreement before we start, so you can read it before you decide.

Yes, you can change lawyers. The new firm requests your file, and how the first lawyer's fee is handled depends on your retainer agreement and the circumstances, so bring it to a free second-opinion consultation before you decide.

It depends on the injuries, the treatment, whether fault is disputed and whether a lawsuit is needed. A claim against the at-fault driver usually waits until the medical picture is clear. We do not promise a timetable and we do not settle before the case can be valued.
