How We Help After An Accident

From Valley Stream to Garden City and Jamaica, the Law Offices of Laurence Rogers represents people hurt by careless drivers, unsafe property conditions, and hazardous job sites. Early in the case we gather photos, video, 911 records, witness names, and medical proof. We communicate with insurers, calculate full damages including future care and lost income, and prepare the file as if it will be presented in court. That preparation often leads to better settlements.

Why An Attorney Levels The Field

Insurance companies control information and push quick offers that ignore long-term needs. An attorney brings structure to the process, insists on fair timelines for treatment, and uses medical experts, economists, and accident reconstruction where needed. Larry’s background in motion practice and appeals means the legal writing and argument behind the scenes is strong, which often moves adjusters and defense counsel toward fair resolution.

What To Do After An Accident

Get medical care first. Photograph vehicles, hazards, and visible injuries if you can. Ask for names and contact info for witnesses and employees on site. Keep receipts and discharge papers. Report the incident to the police or property owner. Before recorded statements, have counsel review the questions so your words are clear and accurate. When you are ready, contact our office to coordinate next steps and deadlines.

What Compensation Can Include

New York claims can recover medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, out-of-pocket costs, and pain and suffering. Even when fault is shared, New York’s comparative negligence rule allows recovery in proportion to the other party’s responsibility. Most negligence claims must be filed within three years, and some claims against public entities require quick notices, so starting early protects your rights.

Answers To Common Questions

  • How long do I have to file?

    Most negligence claims have a three-year deadline, but shorter rules can apply when a municipality is involved.

  • What does it cost to hire a lawyer?

    Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless money is recovered.

  • What if I am partly at fault?

    You can still recover a portion of damages that matches the other party’s fault.

  • Will my case settle or go to trial?

    Many cases settle once treatment stabilizes. We prepare for court so your case is ready if trial becomes the best path.
