Automobile Accidents Can Cause Major Injuries
A serious automobile accident can be a very traumatic and difficult experience. Accidents involving automobiles are among the most common causes of serious injury and death in the United States each year. Following an automobile accident, there are two types of insurance claims which are generally brought on behalf of the injured party. Under the New York No Fault law, every driver or passenger in an insured automobile which is involved in an accident in the State of New York is entitled to have their medical treatment and lost wages paid by the insurance company which insures that automobile, regardless of who is at fault. This also applies to pedestrians struck by insured vehicles. This means that the insurance company for the car you were in at the time of the accident, or the car that struck you if you were a pedestrian, will pay for your medical bills, lost earnings, prescriptions, transportation to doctors, and out of pocket expenses which are related to the accident, until it is decided that such payments are no longer medically necessary. In order to receive these benefits you are entitled to, you must file an application for No-Fault benefits within 30 days of the accident, or your medical bills, lost earnings and out of pocket expenses may not be paid. The Attorneys at WZSS&A will assist you in filing this application, and handling your No-Fault claim.
The second type of claim which is brought following a car accident is a bodily injury claim. If you have suffered a serious injury as a result of a car accident, or were struck by an automobile as a pedestrian, the Attorneys at Werner, Zaroff, Slotnick, Stern & Ashkenazy can evaluate your claim, and help you recover for your bodily injuries from the party or parties responsible for the accident and their insurance company.
