New York Personal Injury Lawyers
Rental car accidents can be very difficult to navigate, with multiple drivers and insurance parties involved. If you have been seriously injured in an accident, physical, emotional, or financial damages caused by the accident can make dealing with your legal rights more difficult.
Whether your injuries were the result of an equipment failure in a rental vehicle or simply the negligence of another driver, New York entitles you to recover fair and reasonable compensation if your injuries are deemed “serious” under the law. Determining whether your injuries are serious requires careful legal representation.
Though every case is unique, car accidents can result in a wide variety of different injuries ranging from the mild to the catastrophic. Under New York law, you are entitled to bring a claim for compensation if you have sustained serious injuries as the result of a motor vehicle accident.

In many instances, serious injuries can prevent you from performing your job and cause a loss of income or decreased benefits. As well, health conditions can result in chronic pain as well as ongoing and expensive medical costs.
