Car Accident FAQs

If you've been injured in a car accident, you likely have questions about your legal rights and what comes next. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive. Contact Hacker Murphy today to schedule your free consultation.

Look for attorneys with real car accident experience, a record of verdicts and settlements, and the willingness to go to trial — and pay attention to what past clients say in reviews. Choose a lawyer who communicates clearly, answers your questions, and treats your case as a priority.

 In New York, most car accident injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the crash — but some deadlines are far shorter. No-fault benefit claims generally must be filed with the insurer within 30 days, and claims involving a city or public agency can require a notice of claim within 90 days. Call for a free consultation and we'll confirm the exact deadlines that apply to you.

The value of your claim depends on the extent of your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, future expenses, and other damages. After reviewing the facts of your case, our attorneys can provide an honest assessment of the compensation you may be entitled to recover.

The deadline for filing a car accident claim varies depending on the circumstances of your case and applicable state law. It's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible so evidence can be preserved and important deadlines are not missed.

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene if it is safe to do so, exchange information with the other driver, and avoid discussing fault with insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Contacting an experienced car accident lawyer early can help protect your rights and strengthen your claim.
