Collisions On Local Roads And Parkways

Crashes happen at low speeds on Rockaway Avenue and at high speeds on Southern State Parkway. The Law Offices of Laurence Rogers builds claims for drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians injured in these collisions. We identify every insurance policy, coordinate benefits, and push for fair value that reflects medical care, missed work, and the way injuries change daily life.

To see how these claims fit within overall injury law, review the personal injury overview and follow the links that match your situation.

Why Crashes Happen And What We Prove

Common causes include distraction at stoplights, speeding through yellow lights, tailgating on the Meadowbrook, unsafe backing in parking lots, drunk or drug-impaired driving, failure to yield to pedestrians on Merrick Road, and defective vehicle components. Proving fault means gathering scene photos, vehicle data, body shop estimates, surveillance video near intersections, and medical proof that ties symptoms to the impact. When trucks are involved, we also examine driver logs, maintenance records, and cargo securement.

Insurance And No-Fault Basics In New York

After a crash, New York’s no-fault coverage helps pay initial medical bills and some lost wages through personal injury protection. When injuries meet the serious injury threshold, you can pursue a liability claim for pain and suffering and full financial losses. We handle recorded statements, negotiate property damage, and prepare the liability claim while treatment progresses so evidence stays organized and deadlines are met.

For head trauma that lingers after impact, learn how testing and specialists support the claim on brain injuries. If a collision was fatal, families can read about next steps on wrongful death.

What To Do After A Crash

• Check for injuries and call 911.

• Ask witnesses to text their contact info.
• Seek medical care the same day, even for stiffness or headaches.
• Keep receipts and prescriptions.
• Notify your insurer, then let us manage adjuster calls so statements are accurate and complete.

When you are ready, schedule time to review coverage, deadlines, and how settlement timing aligns with treatment.
