Building up a strong case is critical in any legal action. This is true for property damage claims as well. We need to have all available evidence to support your claim. What this means will vary from case to case. But in general, keep these things in mind before you contact our attorney for vehicle property damage.
Prioritize your health and safety by seeking immediate medical care after an accident, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be apparent right away.
Report the accident to the authorities, as they will document the incident and create an official record.
Collect contact information from all parties involved in the accident, including witnesses. Take photos and videos of the accident scene, injuries, and any property damage.
Keep a record of your injuries, symptoms, and medical appointments. This documentation will help support your personal injury claim.
Keep any relevant physical evidence (e.g., damaged clothing or vehicle parts), and store digital evidence (e.g., photos or videos) in a secure location.
Consult with an experienced lawyer to protect your rights and help navigate the legal process. Let Moshes Law hold your hand through this process every step
of the way.
Avoid making any statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault or liability, as this may be used against you.
Failing to see a doctor promptly can not only worsen your injuries but also weaken your claim, as insurers may argue that your injuries were not serious.
Insurance adjusters may try to pressure you into accepting a low settlement offer. Consult with your lawyer before signing any documents or agreeing to a settlement.
Posting about your accident or injuries on social media can provide the opposing party with information they can use against you. Keep your accounts private and avoid discussing your case online.
When negotiating a settlement, consider the long-term financial impact of your injuries, such as ongoing medical treatment, lost wages, or future care needs.
As previously stated, the statute of limitations in New York is three years. However,
there are other filing deadlines that you should know:
- You must notify the DMV within 10 days of the accident using Form MV-104
- You must file your claim within 30 days of the accident.
- You must file within 90 days of the crash.
- In these cases, the statute of limitations may be extended once a mental health professional declares the victim incapable of currently filing a claim
