What to do after being injured in a car accident in New York?

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in New York, there are several steps you should take:

Check for injuries: If anyone is hurt, call 911 or the police immediately. Even if there are no visible injuries, it’s still a good idea to seek medical attention.

Move to a safe area: If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road to avoid causing further accidents. Turn on your hazard lights to make your car more visible.

Exchange information: Exchange contact information with the other driver, including their name, phone number, and insurance information. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses, as well.

Document the accident: Take photos of the damage to your car, the other car, and the surrounding area. If possible, take photos of the other driver’s license plate and driver’s license.

File a report: In New York, you must report a traffic accident to the police if there is an injury or if the damage to one or both vehicles is over $1,000. If the police do not respond, you can file a report at a local police station or online.

Notify your insurance company: Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the auto accident.

Consult one of our attorneys: If you were injured in the accident, or if the other driver was uninsured, call Parker Waichman LLP to speak with an attorney.

It is very important to remain calm and avoid admitting fault for the crash, as this can affect your auto accident insurance claim.

When I signed up with the Victim's Compensation Fund ("VCF"), Parker Waichman ("PW") guided me through the entire process. Without their guidance I wouldn't have gotten through it. They do outstanding work and they care deeply for their clients. Tina Morace is pleasant, patient, and very professional. She held my hand through the process of getting all the documents together. Tina is a valuable employee at PW, I hope PW appreciates her as much as I do.

I was in a car accident about a month ago, and had no idea what to do or where to go for help. As I was struggling to walk one morning, when the commercial for Park Waichman came on and the jingle stuck in my head "1800 Just Call, just call that's all!" Well, I called, and like the jingle says, that's all I had to do. Everyone at the office has been a very present help, and always answer my calls and emails timely. Julie and Maryann have been so patient and wonderful with my constant questions, and have taken care of everything! Joanne has been a constant reassurance in reaching out to check on me and make sure that my medical needs are being addressed by my health care providers and that my care is progressing as best as possible. She has a very warm and kindhearted demeanor, which makes everything seem like it will be ok. Thank you for that Joanne, it means the world to me! I would highly recommend the team at Parker Waichman.
