Distracted Driving Lawyer In New York
Despite New York’s strict distracted driving regulations, many drivers still engage in dangerous behaviors, putting others at risk. Knowing your rights is an added legal advantage if you have been hurt in a distracted driving crash.
At The Law Offices of Mark E. Weinberger P.C., we have spent over 40 years advocating for injured New Yorkers across Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as all five boroughs. Our track record of million-dollar settlements demonstrates our ability to hold distracted drivers accountable while treating every client like family throughout their recovery journey.
Types Of Distracted Driving
Distracted driving takes many dangerous forms on New York roads:
- Visual distractions pull a driver’s eyes from the road, such as reading text messages or checking GPS directions.
- Manual distractions involve removing hands from the wheel for activities, including eating, drinking or reaching for items.
- Cognitive distractions occur when a driver’s mind wanders from the task of driving, whether from phone conversations, daydreaming or strong emotions.
Even then, no distraction is worth the devastating accidents they cause. To build the strongest possible case, our attorneys can thoroughly investigate how distraction contributed to your accident.
Injuries Caused By Distracted Driving Accidents
The sudden, violent impact of these crashes often results in:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Multiple bone fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Severe neck and back injuries
We understand the far-reaching impact on you and your family, which is why we fight tirelessly for compensation, covering all current and future costs.
Legal Rights And Options For Injured Individuals
New York law provides important rights, but they must be exercised properly:
- You have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit
- No-fault insurance claims must be filed within 30 days
- Multiple parties may share liability, from drivers to employers
While these steps may seem manageable, insurance companies often exploit victims without legal representation. Our decades of experience let us anticipate and counter their tactics while you focus on healing.
How Our Firm Supports You
We handle every angle of your case with this personal attention:
- Thorough accident investigation and evidence gathering
- Documentation of all accident-related expenses
- Strategic negotiation for maximum compensation
- Trial preparation if settlement offers prove insufficient
While every case is unique, our commitment to client service never wavers.
