A severe car accident can be a traumatic event that changes your life in an instant. If you suffered serious injuries due to the negligent or reckless actions of a driver, a New York car accident lawyer can help you. They can assist you by gathering evidence, negotiating with the at-fault party, and preparing your case for court, if necessary.
You should take prompt legal action since New York has stringent laws when it comes to the time you have to file a lawsuit. If you do not take action within this designated time period, your options for financial recovery could be lost.
If you suffered injuries or lost a loved one in a car accident, contact Dansker & Aspromonte Associates without delay. We offer a free initial case evaluation, and we work on a contingency fee basis—meaning that if we do not get compensation for you, you do not owe us attorney’s fees. To get started, call us today at (212) 732-2929.
New York Car Accident and Your Injuries
Traveling in and around the busy streets of New York demands the full attention of each and every driver. A recent report from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) lists driver inattention and distraction as the largest contributing factors to car accidents statewide. If another driver’s inattentiveness resulted in your injuries or losses, they can be held financially responsible for the collision’s aftermath.
In addition to distracted driving, the NYPD lists the following reckless behaviors as contributing factors of accidents in New York:
- Following or passing too closely
- Improper lane change
- Failure to yield to another driver
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Aggressive driving
- Backing up unsafely
- Speeding
- Disregarding posted traffic signals
The lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte will immediately conduct an investigation of the available evidence in your car accident case which will include speaking to witnesses and obtaining a copy of the police accident report, if applicable. Sometimes the information contained in the police report is inaccurate and additional witnesses or surveillance video can be obtained to prove that the other driver is responsible for the accident. Once we determine what contributing factors played a role in your collision, our lawyers can get to work proving to the other side’s insurance company that they should take responsibility and pay for your damages.
If you suffered serious injuries due to a driver who drove negligently, you do not have to fight alone. Dansker & Aspromonte Associates can help you build a strong case which ensures you receive the maximum money compensation to cover all of your damages including your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment and quality of life, lost earnings and medical expenses from the date of the accident to the rest of your life. To get started, call us today.

How a New York Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You
Since 1988, Dansker & Aspromonte Associates has been representing people throughout the State of New York who have been injured due to the fault of others. Though many personal injury cases settle prior to trial, in order to ensure the best recovery for you, we thoroughly prepare every case as if it will be presented for a jury trial.
It is important to contact the lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte immediately after your accident so that an investigation of the facts of your accident can be undertaken. Once retained, we will gather important evidence to prove that the accident was all or partially the fault of the other driver.
Some of the following pieces of evidence may be helpful to prove the other driver’s fault in your case include:
- The police report filed at the accident scene
- Photos and videos of the collision itself
- Any available traffic surveillance footage
- Eyewitness statements
- Testimony from a medical professional or accident reconstruction specialist
After your collision, you may be approached by an insurance company or investigator, offering you a fast settlement. It is important that you speak with the attorneys at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates before you make any decisions regarding your claim. At first glance, you may not know what is truly fair compensation in your case especially if you are not sure how your medical injuries will heal or whether the other driver is at fault. As your lawyers, we will gather the evidence in your case, and also manage all communications with the other driver’s insurance company or representatives.

Some of the compensable damages you may be able to recover through a wrongful death claim include:
