TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF MY SETTLEMENTS AND VERDICTS:
DO I HAVE A CASE?

Contact the Law Office of Norman Gershon for immediate legal assistance after your accident. Some things are better left for the experts. Tackling a personal injury case without legal counsel is never recommended because:
- You may not know how much you could recover
- Insurance companies will fight tooth and nail to deny or limit the value of your car accident claim
- More than one person could be financially liable for the injuries you sustained
- Others involved in the accident may attempt to blame you. Which could seriously harm your ability to recover damages
An attorney works hard for you, not the insurance companies. We will answer your questions and help you every step on your road to recovery.

What is No-Fault Insurance?
Personal injury protection (PIP) is a mandatory part of certain in-state insurance policies. PIP can cover medical expenses, essential services, and lost wages. If you have a New York car insurance policy and are injured in a car accident, PIP coverage will pay expenses up to your policy limit (usually up to $50,000). Because New York is a no-fault state, your PIP coverage pays out first. If your medical expenses exceed your policy limit, you can still pursue financial compensation.
What is Comparative Negligence?
The State of New York considers Comparative Negligence. This allows for the liability of one party to be reduced proportionally by the negligence of the other party. It may be likely that the defendant in your case will attempt to show that you were also negligent as a means to escape or reduce liability.
What is the Statute of Limitations for My Case?
In the State of New York, the statute of limitations for a car accident injury case runs for three years, starting from the date of your accident. The statute of limitations and requirements are different when dealing with a public or governmental entity. Don’t wait to contact an experienced car accident attorney. Getting an early start on your case can help protect and secure your interests!
