Long Island Car Accident Lawyer
Car Accident Long Island
As automobile injury lawyers on Long Island, we see many people who believe that New York’s no-fault auto insurance laws prevent them from holding the at-fault motorist who caused their accident liable for their damages.
But that is simply not true.
If your injured, you qualify to pursue a personal injury case against the at-fault driver.
We offer complimentary consultations on Long Island, at the hospital, or even in your home. Call us today at 516-932-0400 to schedule your free consultation.
