You are eligible to file a personal injury claim if you’ve suffered injury in a recent car accident.  You, or your family, can file claims in New York State for injuries that resulted from an accident, including for the following:

• Fracture of a bone or part of a bone, including a broken nose or teeth
• Permanent loss of use of a body organ, function, member or system
• Permanent significant limitation of the use of a body organ or member, when that use causes persistent or chronic pain
• Scarring
• Loss of a fetus
• A nonpermanent impairment that prevents the victim from conducting daily activities for 90 of the 180 days after the accident (the 90/180 Day Rule)
• Significant limitation on the use of a body function or system
• Significant disfigurement
• Dismemberment (loss of limbs)
• Death.

By state law, every vehicle in New York is required to carry a minimum amount of insurance.  Regardless of who caused the accident, victims can still receive benefits and compensation for their injuries.

Many Suffolk County and Long Island drivers, however, are not aware that an application for No-Fault benefits must be filed within 30 days of the accident or the insurance company may not have to pay for medical bills or lost earnings.  The type of compensation you may be entitled to after an accident can include mental and physical pain and suffering, medical bills, money for past or future lost wages, loss of household help and non-economic damages and loss of annuity or pension.

Often, insurance companies stall on payments or attempt to give you less money than you deserve; they may even deny your claim.  It is important to choose a Suffolk County and Long Island law firm that that has a track record of success and can help after you’ve had a car accident.  The attorneys at Schwartzapfel Partners P.C. can help you and your family make a difficult situation much easier.  We have a 98 percent success rate for our Suffolk County and Long Island clients, and we use our legal experience and resources to get you the money and benefits you deserve and need.
