Paying Your Medical Bills After a Crash
Injuries in car accidents range from minor to serious, and extensive injuries could result in hospital stays, mounting medical bills, and continued health problems. Potential crash injuries could include:
- Cuts and bruises
- Tears of soft tissue structures, such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
- Trauma and extreme pain to any of the joints in the body.
- Fractured/broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Whiplash and other neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Concussion and other forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
The compensation you are entitled to should help you cover your medical bills. While most New York car accidents that cause injuries trigger No-Fault Insurance coverage from the insurance company of the vehicle the injured person was in, medical and related costs can exceed No-Fault Insurance limits and could really begin to pile up after a crash. Severe injuries often result in financial stress on top of everything else. Damages awarded in your injury case could help you cover the costs of:
- Doctor visits
- Hospitalizations
- Prescription medications
- Physical therapy
- Mental health services
- Future care and rehabilitation
- Any other medical needs
One of our important goals is to win compensation that will help you pay for the medical care you need and make it easier for you to move on with your life in the best way.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a side impact collision, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will help you learn more about getting compensation. Call (516) 932-0400 for your free consultation today.

Pursuing Other Types of Compensation
Medical bills are not the only thing to worry about after a car accident. Your compensation could also help cover:
Lost Wages and Earning Potential
If you or your loved one takes a long time to recover from the injuries suffered in a side impact collision, that could require a leave of absence from work. If you are not working, that means missed paychecks.
Additionally, your injuries might leave you unable to work in the same capacity as you did before your accident. Awarded damages can help cover these lost wages and loss of earning potential.
Property Damage
A side impact collision often results in serious damage to the vehicles involved. If insurance does not cover the cost of repairs or replacement of your car, you could pursue property damages as a part of your compensation.
Wrongful Death
If your loved one died due to injuries suffered in a side impact collision, please accept our condolences. We want you to know that pursuing wrongful death damages is a possibility. Our team can tell you more about your legal options. It would be our privilege to answer your questions and address your concerns patiently compassionately and comprehensively.
Pain and Suffering
Any other pain and suffering you or your family experienced because of this accident should be considered when calculating compensation.

Why You Should Act Fast
When you hire a Hempstead side impact collisions lawyer from our firm, we will act quickly to file your case and start the legal process. This is to your advantage. You should act quickly when it comes to personal injury cases for a few reasons, including:
- The statute of limitations: You do not have an unlimited amount of time to pursue a personal injury case. CPLR § 214 limits the time within which you may begin the legal process, so acting fast is in your best interest if you do not want to miss out on your chance to secure compensation.
- Difficulty gathering evidence: It also could become harder to gather evidence if you do not begin the legal process quickly. Witnesses’ ability to recall events will fade, footage of the accident might be deleted, and other ways of gathering evidence may become more difficult.
- The potential length of negotiations or litigation if necessary: Unfortunately, the legal system does not work overnight. It could take a while for the parties involved to agree to a settlement or, if the unique circumstances of your case call for litigation, to move the case through all the stages that lead to a trial before a judge and jury The earlier you begin the legal process to recover compensation, the better. The sooner you contact us the greater our opportunity to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
- Your current financial situation: If your medical bills and lost wages are causing financial distress right now, acting quickly will help you work toward financial recovery so that you can rebuild your life.
