How a Manhattan Car Accident Lawyer Will Help
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we will thoroughly investigate your case to determine the most appropriate legal strategy for moving forward. Step one is to identify the at-fault party, and step two is to prove liability.

Proving Liability
Once we have identified the at-fault party or parties, we will prove liability by showing that the following elements were present:
- The at-fault party had a duty of care to take reasonable precautions against causing you harm.
- The at-fault party breached that duty by behaving recklessly, carelessly, or negligently.
- The actions of the at-fault party were a direct cause of the accident and the damages you suffered as a result.

Statute of Limitations
In New York, you have a limited time with which to take legal action if you have been injured in a car accident. If you overstep the statute of limitations for a car accident injury claim in New York, you may be unable to obtain any compensation from the at-fault party or parties.
And the statute of limitations may not be the only deadline you have to contend with; you may have deadlines depending on whether you are filing with your own insurer or filing a case against the state or a municipality.
