If you or a family member have been seriously injured in an automobile accident, call Susanne M. Roxbury for your free no obligation consultation. 

 

New York State is a “No-Fault” state. This means that if you are in a car accident, the insurance company which insures the car in which you are riding (or the car which hit you if you were a pedestrian) will cover the payment of necessary medical and hospital bills, lost wages and incidentals. New York has adopted strict time constraints so that your insurance carrier must be put on notice and a No-Fault application filed within 30 days from the date of the accident or you may be precluded from obtaining compensation for medical and hospital bills, lost wages and incidentals. As part of the retention, Ms. Roxbury assists her clients, at no charge, with preparing and filing the No-Fault application.

 

In New York, only those persons who have sustained a “serious” injury, as defined by the New York Insurance Law, may sue for their pain and suffering   Serious injury is defined to include such injuries such as broken bones, significant facial disfigurement with visible scarring, permanent loss of use of a body organ, member or system, a medically determined impairment which prevents the victim from performing their normal daily activities for at least 90 days during the 180 day period following the accident, loss of a fetus and death. 

 

If you or a family member have been in an accident as a result of negligence by another, and you have been seriously hurt, please call Susanne M. Roxbury so that I may evaluate your case and help you obtain compensation for the harm you have sustained.
