But not every attorney is the same.

Qualities of a highly regarded New York car accident lawyer

The attorney you hire can make the difference in obtaining a recovery and can also affect the amount of damages you receive either by settlement or verdict. When choosing a car accident lawyer in New York to represent you, look for the following attributes:

  • Experience with New York car accidents: Skilled firms with extensive experience are likely to have handled car accidents cases in New York that are similar to yours. They are familiar with roads in the area, including accident prone  locations. Seasoned New York car accident and highway lawyers have the required experience as tough negotiators to secure the compensation you deserve from even the largest and most difficult insurance companies.
  • Proximity: An attorney with conveniently located offices will be easy for you to reach for important meetings and will be familiar with local courts, staff, and procedures.
  • Trial experience: Lawyers who handle car accident cases on a daily basis are likely to keep up to date with changes in the laws and can provide you with the strongest legal theories to successfully pursue your case, in and out of court. Some car accident attorneys rely heavily on settlement opportunities, because they don't have courtroom experience. You need an attorney who explores all possible avenues of recovery, including settlement and a jury verdict, and who above all else, unwaveringly represents your best interests.
