New York and New Jersey personal injury law firm representing victims of car accidents.
Handling automobile accidents in New Jersey can be complicated because New Jersey’s automobile insurance laws are extremely complex. New York’s car insurance laws are not any easier to comprehend.
The attorneys at Mintz & Geftic understand the complex legal and insurance issues. We will explain how your own insurance policy can limit your rights to bring a lawsuit for personal injuries even if the other driver is 100% at fault. We will explain the importance of how uninsured and underinsurance coverage provided in your own policy can extend or limit your recovery if you are seriously injured.
Experience: Our partners have over 100 years combined experience in handling automobile cases. We pride ourselves in honest, intelligent, responsive and aggressive representation. Our attorneys will identify the parties responsible for your injury and file claims against the individual, partnership, corporation or any other entity responsible. We will vigorously fight for your rights to medical benefits and compensation for your injuries and for your pain and suffering.
Basic Guidelines to Follow After a Car Accident:
- Exchange information with the other driver or drivers.
- Get the driver’s policy number, carrier, plate number, and vehicle information.
- Identify eye witnesses and copy their contact info.
- Contact local law enforcement or 9-1-1.
- Do not refuse medical treatment and be sure to relay all of your medical complaints to the police, ambulance, and medical personnel.
- Do not reveal the details of your insurance coverage.
- Never sign insurance documents before contacting a qualified car accident lawyer.
- Take pictures of the accident scene to document damage.
- Never admit liability.
