NEGLIGENCE
There was wrongdoing that caused the accident such as speeding, texting and driving, or driving through traffic signals. Police reports, photographs, and video can be significant aspects to helping a case if it goes to trial.

How We Help:
We start by investigating the accident and proving that the at-fault driver was negligent.

We negotiate with your insurance company and handle all communications for maximum compensation and peace-of-mind.

If necessary, we represent you in court and highlight liability and damages persuasively.

RECKLESS DRIVER
The other driver had no regard for the safety of others on the road – exhibiting road rage, weaving through traffic, speeding – which can cause severe accidents and injuries. If you have been injured, it’s important to see a doctor right away and document your injury.

How We Help:
A reckless driver case can leave you with serious injuries and financial burdens.

We gather evidence to prove recklessness and negotiate with your insurance company for maximum compensation.

If necessary, we file a lawsuit and present a strong case in court to hold the at-fault driver accountable and secure the maximum award.

INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT
The other person was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are involved in an auto accident and suspect the other driver was under the influence, it is important to alert the police to include this information in the official accident report and review this with your accident attorney.

How We Help:
Intentional misconduct cases involve more severe actions and victims are entitled to higher damages.

We gather strong evidence to prove intentional misconduct and the at-fault driver accountable.

Many insurance companies resist paying out in these cases so we fight claim denials and negotiate a fair settlement.

If necessary, we file a lawsuit and represent you in court with a strong case that can lead to criminal and civil charges.

Manhattan, NY sees some of the highest traffic volumes in the city—and with it, a large number of car accidents. Over 8.3 million people live within the 302 square miles that make up the five boroughs and Manhattan’s streets are especially prone to congestion, aggressive driving, and pedestrian conflicts.

Most accidents in Manhattan are caused by distracted driving, failure to yield, and speeding—particularly in busy areas like Times Square, SoHo, and Midtown.

To address this, NYC has launched safety programs like Vision Zero and made targeted improvements in Manhattan.

Vision Zero introduces reduced speed limits, pedestrian countdown timers, and safer crossing intervals. High-risk areas have also seen more speed cameras, redesigned intersections, and better lane markings to reduce confusion and improve visibility.
