If you have been seriously injured in a rental car accident as the result of another’s fault, you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation. Rental car accidents can be challenging, however. While some states allow you to take legal action against rental car companies after a collision, New York State generally prohibits these sorts of lawsuits. Even so, there are a few exceptions.
If you retain a Staten Island rental car accident lawyer at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates, they can help identify the individuals who should be held responsible for your pain and suffering and other damages. For more information about how our attorneys can help you with your case, contact our firm today at (212) 540-2987 to receive a free consultation.
Who Is Liable in Rental Car Accident Cases
If you rent a car and it crashes because the brakes or other equipment were defective, you may be within your rights to seek compensation from the rental car company for neglected vehicle maintenance. In most cases, however, rental car accident lawsuits are brought against drivers for negligence in causing or contributing to an accident without evidence of vehicle defects
In the end, rental car companies and other drivers are expected to act reasonably to prevent injury on Staten Island roadways. Nobody has the right to put you in harm’s way, and nobody is above the law.
Through in-depth investigations and evidence gathering, we will use our experience to determine who is responsible for your injuries and obtain fair and reasonable compensation for all of your damages.
