Brooklyn Car Accident Lawyer

Injured in a car crash in Brooklyn? The Bull takes on insurance companies and makes them pay.

New York Law Protects Brooklyn Drivers, So Do We

If you were injured in a car accident in Brooklyn, you're protected by New York’s no-fault insurance laws, but that doesn’t mean insurers will treat you fairly. Even minor crashes can result in serious injuries, lost income, and long-term medical bills. Whether you were hit in Flatbush, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, or on the BQE, you deserve a legal team that knows how to fight and win in Brooklyn. At The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, we prepare every case for trial. We know how to deal with insurers who delay, deny, and underpay. Known as “The Bull,” Michael S. Lamonsoff leads an aggressive legal team focused on securing maximum compensation, not quick settlements.

Results for Brooklyn Car Accident Victims

Our firm has recovered millions for car crash victims across Brooklyn. These are just a few of the cases we've fought and won:

$3.5 million recovered for a motorist hit by a box truck
$2.5 million for a client injured in a t-bone car accident

These weren’t easy cases. They were built, litigated, and pressured until the insurers gave in or lost in court.

Brooklyn’s Roads Are Among the Most Dangerous in NYC

From narrow streets and double-parked lanes to distracted drivers and heavy truck traffic, Brooklyn presents serious dangers for motorists.

Some of the highest-risk areas include:

Flatbush Ave and Atlantic Ave (high-speed multi-lane corridors)
Eastern Parkway, Ocean Parkway, and 4th Ave (frequent pedestrian crossings)
Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE), known for truck collisions and rear-end crashes
Bushwick and Williamsburg, heavy rideshare and bike lane congestion
Downtown Brooklyn intersections with high foot and MTA traffic

We understand Brooklyn’s road design, traffic flow, and liability issues — and we use that knowledge to build stronger cases.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Car crash victims often underestimate their injuries at first, but even a low-speed impact can cause long-lasting harm.

Injuries we commonly see include:

Neck and back trauma, including whiplash and disc herniation
Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
Broken bones and joint damage
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Facial fractures and dental injuries
Soft tissue injuries and chronic pain
Psychological trauma and PTSD

You shouldn’t have to suffer quietly. We’ll help you fight for medical care and full compensation.

Why You Need a Brooklyn Car Accident Lawyer

New York’s no-fault insurance only covers a portion of your losses and only for certain injuries. To receive full compensation, you need a legal team that knows how to break through the red tape and take real legal action.

Here’s what we do:

Investigate your crash immediately and secure evidence
File claims with both your insurer and the at-fault party
Work with doctors and accident reconstruction experts
Determine the full value of your injuries and losses
Prepare every case for trial to maximize leverage
Negotiate with strength and litigate when needed

We deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on recovery.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Brooklyn

Brooklyn’s dense population and chaotic road conditions make it one of the top boroughs for collisions.

Most crashes are caused by:

Speeding through busy intersections
Distracted driving (texting, eating, GPS use)
Aggressive lane changing and tailgating
Failure to yield at crosswalks or stop signs
Drunk or drug-impaired driving
Dangerous weather and road conditions
Inexperienced or fatigued drivers

We pinpoint exactly what went wrong and who’s responsible.

Who Can Be Held Liable After a Car Accident

Determining liability is key to unlocking compensation. Responsible parties can include:

Other drivers (private motorists, rideshare operators, delivery drivers)
Employers (if the driver was on duty)
Government entities (for poor road design or maintenance)
Vehicle manufacturers (in defect cases)
Bars or establishments that overserved a drunk driver

We investigate all angles to maximize the number of liable parties and insurance policies.

What Compensation Can You Recover

In a car accident lawsuit, we seek full damages beyond no-fault benefits, including:

Medical costs: ER, surgery, rehab, specialists
Lost income and diminished future earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Long-term disability or disfigurement
Emotional distress
Loss of quality of life
Vehicle repair or replacement

We won’t let insurers minimize your recovery, we build cases that demand more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Brooklyn?

In most cases, three years from the date of the accident. For city or state vehicles, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

We can pursue an uninsured motorist (UM) claim through your own policy and investigate any third-party liability.

Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
