Common questions
What should I do if the insurer calls days after the accident?
You may report the accident, but it is best to consult before giving recorded statements or accepting an offer. A prior review helps you understand what you are signing.
Do I have a case if I was partly at fault?
New York applies comparative fault rules. Every situation is evaluated individually and whether a case exists depends on the facts and the available evidence.
How much does the initial consultation cost?
The initial consultation is free. Representation and fees are defined after evaluating the case and always through a written agreement.
Do you assist in Spanish?
Yes. Our team works in English and Spanish so you can explain your situation and understand every stage of the process.
