Chopra & Nocerino, LLP: Uncover The Secrets To Legal Success

In New York’s no-fault car insurance system, you must first turn to your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to pay medical bills, lost wages, and other “basic economic losses” after a car accident. However, PIP might not be enough to cover your full damages, in which case you can turn to the at-fault party’s auto liability coverage or a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your economic and non-economic losses.

It is not always easy to determine who pays for medical bills after a car accident, particularly one involving serious injuries and expensive treatment. At Chopra & Nocerino, we have extensive experience helping clients figure out how to pay medical bills. Let us put our skills to work in pursuit of full and fair compensation.

The things you shouldn’t do are as important as the things you should do after an accident. For example, some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and a wrong move could make a temporary injury permanent.

Further, insurance companies will look for every excuse to deny your claim or minimize your payout. After an accident:

Don’t admit fault.
Don’t apologize.
Don’t discuss how the accident happened with the other driver or witnesses.
Don’t leave the scene without exchanging insurance and contact information.
Don’t make untruthful statements to law enforcement.
Don’t volunteer information when talking to law enforcement.
Don’t assume you are uninjured if your accident was severe.
Don’t move until paramedics arrive if you suspect you are injured.
Don’t attempt to move others who are injured unless necessary to avoid immediate danger.
Leaving the scene of an accident without exchanging information and reporting it to law enforcement could result in criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment. These are also known as hit-and-run accidents.

You may be able to sue the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) for injuries or death in an NYC subway accident.
The legal process for filing suit against the MTA can be more complex than in a case against private individuals and businesses.
Our accomplished New York subway accident lawyers can navigate your legal claim against the MTA and fight for the compensation you deserve.
You may be able to sue the MTA for injuries you sustained while riding the subway if the harm occurred because of negligence by any of the MTA’s employees or agents. As a public benefit corporation performing an essential governmental function, the MTA enjoys the same protections as government agencies in New York, making a personal injury claim more complex for NYC subway accidents.
