Car Accidents

Every day, thousands of New Yorkers drive the streets. Unfortunately, accidents on the road are quite common and can result in serious injuries to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.

At The Irwin Law Firm we have handled countless motor vehicle-related personal injury cases and will help guide you through the difficulties of motor vehicle collision litigation, which includes dealing with doctors and other medical providers, as well as dealing with insurance companies, and then the Courts. As an experienced New York Auto Accident Lawyer, we are equipped to handle whatever comes our way, and we understand the importance of being prepared to walk our clients through the legal process step by step. We strategize regarding the accident case, navigating the process of evidence gathering, while understanding the different accident types, such as:

• Negligence
• Reckless Driving
• Intentional Misconduct

Negligence relating to an auto accident case means that there was wrongdoing that caused the accident such as speeding, texting and driving, or driving through traffic signal. Police reports, photographs, and video can be significant aspects to helping a case if it goes to trial.

A Reckless Driver has 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 as a result of someone’s reckless driving, it’s important to see a doctor right away and document your injury.

Intentional Misconduct pertains to a person 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.
