The number one objective of a Suffolk County and Long Island attorney in a car accident case is to get you the compensation and money you deserve and need.  Negotiating with defense lawyers or insurance companies in a court may certainly be a part of your case, but our job begins long before we reach a courtroom.  We become an advocate for our clients at every step of the legal process -- from the first minute we accept the case to the final settlement or courtroom verdict.

Your very first call to us will connect you with an experienced attorney who will determine if we can help you and how.  We compare your case with others we have handled and are able to give you a realistic expectation of the outcome of your case.

The first step is to compile all the documents we need in court, which can include accident reports, police reports, medical records, past wage earnings and statements and other financial documents.  We establish the circumstances of the accident, the nature of your injuries and the values of lost wages and the lost capacity you have due to injuries.  We establish the relevant facts and create a clear picture of your injury for the insurance company or jury.  We use the facts to show the seriousness of your injuries and how your injuries have affected your well-being and financial situation.

In addition,  we interview eye witnesses, which give important details and make your story more credible.  We consult experts in various fields and obtain informed opinions about relevant technical details, such as traffic conditions, product or engineering defects, and your medical status.  Because of our vast experience with automotive accident cases, we understand how to use expert testimony.  For example, a well-respected physician can offer a clear, authoritative explanation of your injuries that can, in turn, inform a jury and bring your case to a successful outcome.

After we assemble the case evidence, such as documents, witness testimony and other evidence, we prepare for trial.  Our goal becomes to get the best possible settlement and secure an out-of-court negotiation that achieves that goal.  However, it should be noted that we will never compromise your case just to secure a settlement.  We do not hesitate to go to trial, if we can do better there.  We keep in constant contact with you and keep you up-to-date on all developments in the case.  Communication between client and attorney is essential for successful outcomes -- after all, it is your case and you should have all the information.  While we do have extensive experience with similar cases, we always leave the final decisions to you.
