New York Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting For Maximum Compensation

Injured In A New York City Accident? Don’t Let The Insurance Company Decide What Your Case Is Worth

A serious injury can turn your life upside down in a matter of seconds. One moment you’re going about your day in New York City, and the next you’re dealing with pain, medical bills, missed work, and an insurance company already looking for ways to limit what they pay you.

At Pasternack Tilker, our New York personal injury lawyers represent people hurt in accidents because of someone else’s negligence. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver who ran a red light, rear-ended in traffic, or injured in another preventable accident, we know how to step in quickly, protect your claim, and fight for the full compensation you may be entitled to under New York law.

You don’t have to deal with this alone, and you don’t have to let some insurance adjuster force you to accept less than your case is worth.

When Should You Contact A Personal Injury Lawyer?

Insurance companies often begin building their defense immediately, sometimes within hours of the accident.

You should speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible if:

• You suffered serious injuries in an accident and needed medical treatment
• An insurance company is already contacting you about the accident
• There are questions about who is at fault for the accident
• You’re being pressured by the insurance company to accept a quick settlement
• You lost a loved one in a fatal accident due to negligence

Getting legal help early helps protect your rights and prevents costly mistakes that benefit the insurance company.

How Insurance Companies Try To Limit Your Claim

After an accident, it may seem like the insurance company is there to help. In reality, their goal is to resolve your claim for as little as possible.

An insurance adjuster may:

• Ask for recorded statements early on
• Downplay the severity of your injuries
• Intentionally delay the process to create pressure
• Offer quick settlements before you understand the full impact of your injury

Our attorneys handle those conversations with the insurance company for you, so you can focus on your recovery while we build your case and push back against their tactics to pay you less.

What Compensation May Be Available After A New York Injury?

• Medical Expenses: Emergency care, surgeries, therapy, and ongoing treatment
• Lost Wages: Income lost while you’re unable to work
• Future Loss Of Earning Capacity: Long-term impact on your ability to earn
• Pain And Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress

Every case is different, and understanding the full value of your claim is critical before accepting any offer.
