What Does a Uniondale Truck Accident Attorney Do?
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we are proud to manage our clients’ entire cases on their behalf, giving them the time and the peace of mind they need to recover after a devastating motor vehicle accident. Our Uniondale truck accident lawyers will:
- Update you regularly: Even though we handle the day-to-day operations of your legal action, we always keep you informed about what is happening and give you all of the information you need to make legal decisions. We will provide these updates in your preferred language: English, Spanish, Greek, Bengali, or other language that you are most comfortable with.
- Identify the liable parties: You can sue any and all liable parties, which could include truck drivers, trucking companies, cargo loaders, and/or truck maintenance teams. Our legal team will figure out who was at fault in your case.
- Communicate with others: The liable party’s lawyers and insurer might try to get you to accept less than you deserve. Our Uniondale lawyers will protect you by speaking with these and other involved parties and then telling you what their positions are.
- Build your case: We will gather evidence from a variety of sources, potentially including police reports, photos, videos, medical records, trucking company records, and witness testimony.
- Calculate how much your case is worth: If the insurance company has already offered you a settlement, wait until our truck injury attorneys have a chance to evaluate that offer and ensure it matches your past, present, and future needs.
If you have questions about your rights or about the services we offer, call Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., today for a free case review. We never charge attorneys’ fees until we win the case.

How Truck Accident Damages Allow You to Rebuild
No amount of money will undo the pain and loss you have experienced, but it will free you from financial worries as you find a new normal. Our truck injury law firm will use the evidence we collect in your case to determine which of the following types of damages you qualify for:
- Medical expenses, which provide all of the money you need to treat your injuries and manage symptoms over the long term, if necessary
- Property damage, which allows you to repair or replace personal property, especially a motor vehicle
- Loss of earnings, which reimburse you for income and job benefits you lost or expect to lose because of your injuries
- Pain and suffering, which is compensation for your physical pain and accompanying emotional distress
- Disability, which is money awarded based on the extent of your physical and intellectual disabilities, including both temporary and permanent injuries
- Diminished quality of life, which refers to the loss of your independence or your ability to do all of the tasks and activities you did before
The amounts you receive for each of these and other types of damages will depend on various factors. These factors include how serious your injuries are and how much money they cost to treat.
For example, truck crash cases where the victim suffers permanent, catastrophic injuries might be worth more than cases where the victim’s injuries are moderate or temporary.
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., understands that no two clients are alike, even if they suffered similar injuries or were hurt in the same accident. Let our trucking accident attorneys in Uniondale craft a personalized legal strategy that will enable you to meet your goals.

What to Do After a Truck Crash in Uniondale
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) data shows that there were 3,904 large truck accidents in New York State in 2023. These collisions resulted in over 4,200 injuries. There are several steps you should take to protect your rights if you are injured in a truck accident:
- See a doctor: This is the most important step. Always go to the ER, an urgent care clinic, or your regular doctor promptly after being injured in an accident, and follow all of the instructions your doctor gives you.
- Start collecting evidence: Do not risk your health or safety to take photos and video of the scene or get the truck driver’s insurance information. However, if you feel safe and comfortable taking a moment to do these things, the information you collect could be very helpful.
- Report the accident: Call 911 from the scene and get the Nassau County Police Department or another authority to come and provide assistance. If this is not possible (e.g., you were unconscious), contact the police to file a report at a later date. Our truck accident lawyers often use a copy of this report as evidence.
- Say as little as possible: When reporting to the police, keep your responses honest but short. If the trucking company’s insurer tries to speak with you, tell them that they should contact your attorney. Once you hire our legal team, give them our information and let us safeguard your rights.
Under New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, you have a limited time to take action after a personal injury. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case.
It is best to take advantage of a free case review with our firm so that you know exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.)
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., encourages you to call us as soon as you are medically stable so we have the maximum possible amount of time to start building your case.
