Auto Accidents

Brooklyn Car Accident Injury Lawyer

If you have been injured in a car accident, make sure you understand all your rights and obligations. Do you know what you are entitled to under New York's no-fault laws? Do you know the deadlines for personal injury claims?

At the law firm of Costello & Costello, P.C. in Brooklyn, New York, we can answer your car accident questions and help you obtain compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

• Don't miss a deadline. You must report your accident to the insurance company within 30 days. Missing a deadline could mean the loss of your right to file a claim.
• What does no-fault mean? No matter who was at fault in the car accident, your injuries are covered by the insurance on the car you were in (or the car that hit you if you were a pedestrian). If your medical and other expenses go beyond that coverage, you may have a third-party claim against the at-fault driver.
• How will the bills be paid? There are three areas of benefits if you were injured in a car accident: necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses, a percentage of lost wages, and out-of-pocket expenses. Our lawyers can help you gather the necessary medical records and expenses for your claim.
• Who will protect your interests? An experienced personal injury lawyer can protect your rights against the insurance company and vigorously pursue the settlement you deserve. Do not feel pressured to answer the insurance company's questions—especially if you are in pain or if you do not fully understand the extent of your injuries. Your attorney can handle communications with the insurance company.
• What can a lawyer do for you? At the law firm of Costello & Costello, PC, we will listen to your report of the car crash, examine the police reports, gather medical data with your authorization, and present an effective claim in a timely manner. We will explain and protect your rights and keep you informed about the insurance claim process.
