Our Client-Centered Team Will Handle Every Aspect of Your Case
The legal team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., has been serving as personal injury advocates for the injured in New York since 1991. Our dedicated staff will assist clients in multiple languages, including English, Greek, Spanish, Bengali, or other language that you are most comfortable with.

Our personal injury law firm will proactively update you regarding your case as new developments occur. We welcome your calls and emails and will respond promptly to every question you put to us. We aim to make sure you are as informed, knowledgeable, and comfortable as possible.Identifying Who Caused Your Auto Accident
Negligence sits at the core of any personal injury case. Our legal team knows what insurance companies and courts need to see and hear before they accept that the party who caused your accident did so out of negligence and is therefore liable for your damages. Our New Cassel attorneys will collect all relevant evidence and present compelling arguments that:- The defendant owed you a duty to take reasonable care to keep you from harm.
- The defendant violated this duty through either action or inaction.
- The defendant’s breach of duty caused the car accident.
- You suffered injuries and other recoverable damages as a result.
Investigating and Building Your Motor Vehicle Accident Case
Our personal injury law firm will investigate every facet of your collision, from cause to damages, and gather evidence that supports your case. For example, depending upon the unique circumstances of your situation, a car accident lawyer from Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., might do the following:- Visit the scene of the accident to scout for evidence
- Obtain videos from nearby surveillance cameras, dash cams, phones, and other sources
- Review photos of the accident
- Gather opinions from economic, medical, vocational rehabilitation, and life-care planning experts
- Enlist the help of an accident reconstruction specialist
- Request a copy of the official accident report from the Nassau County Police Department
- Get wage statements from your employer
- Interview witnesses
- Collect all medical records
Communicating With Parties Related to Your Accident Injury Case
After a car crash, the at-fault party’s insurance provider will often reach out to the victim and offer a settlement in hopes of avoiding going to court. However, initial settlement offers generally do not factor in the full scope of damages that victims experience. In fact, such offers are frequently “low ball” offers, intended to “get rid of” a potential lawsuit for pennies on the dollar of the case’s true value. You might also hear from:- Insurance companies who want to record your statement about the collision, which might then be used against you.
- Police officers who follow up with you regarding their investigation of the accident.
- Defense attorneys who reach out to you with an aggressive response to your claim which might discourage you from pursuing compensation.
Calculating Your Accident-Related Damages
The evidence we gather goes toward establishing fault, negligence, and liability as well as proving all the details of your damages. The list we compile will account for financial, physical, and emotional losses you have suffered, losses you might continue to endure, and losses that you will likely face in the future. Every case is different, but some of the types of damages you might recover include:- Medical expenses
- Current and future loss of income, including benefits
- Diminished future potential earnings
- Costs for domestic services if your injuries prevent you from fulfilling certain tasks, such as home care or childcare
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as home modifications to accommodate your injuries
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Loss of consortium
- Physical or intellectual disability
