Queens Car Accident Lawyer

Injured in a car accident in Queens? The Bull fights for maximum compensation and never backs down from a legal battle.

Protect Your Rights After a Car Accident in Queens

If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision in Queens, you may have the right to seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. New York is a no-fault state, which means your insurance initially covers medical expenses and lost wages. However, when injuries rise to the level of serious harm under New York Insurance Law §5102(d), you may file a claim against the at-fault party. The legal team at The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff understands the complexity of New York car accident law and knows exactly how to confront insurers who try to minimize claims. Led by Michael “The Bull” Lamonsoff, we are known for our relentless pursuit of justice and trial-first strategy. If you were injured in Queens, you don’t have to fight alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New York?

You generally have three years from the date of the crash. However, if your case involves a city agency, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days.

What if I am partially at fault?

New York follows a comparative negligence rule. Even if you share some responsibility, you may still recover compensation, reduced by your percentage of fault.

What does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we win your case.

Will I have to go to court?

Many cases settle, but we prepare each one for trial. That pressure often leads to better offers and stronger results.
