Automobile Accidents & Injuries

Common causes of injuries include:

A personal-injury attorney will file a claim on your behalf for bodily injury, sickness, disease or death caused by the negligence of another person. The first step in a personal-injury claim is to determine whether the at-fault person is legally responsible for your injuries. Next, you must determine whether money damages would compensate you for your injuries or losses.

If the defendant had a duty to you, breached the duty and caused you damages, you may have a personal injury case. Every state sets a time limit, called a statue of limitations, during which you must file your claim. Therefore, you should contact our staff at Leeds Morelli & Brown as soon as possible after you are injured. We will answer your questions and provide guidance.

Should I settle on my own? What damages can I collect?

Don't try to settle your case on your own. Every year, insurance companies save millions through auto-accident victims who negotiate and settle without an attorney. Adjusters ignore these uninsured victims or make very small nuisance settlement offers. Victims who choose to go it alone often pay a steep price in uncompensated expenses for an accident that wasn’t their fault. Contact an auto-accident attorney at our New York City office—serving victims in Manhattan, Long Island, Queens and statewide—to schedule a complimentary consultation.

How do the lawyers Leeds Morelli & Brown determine the damages appropriate in my case?

The amount of a settlement in a personal injury case depends on several factors:

• The nature and extent of the injury
• The length of time the injury is expected to last
• Economic damages, including lost wages, medical bills and rental car expenses
• General damages, including pain, suffering, humiliation and distress

The attorneys at Leeds Morelli & Brown practice on a contingency basis. If we do not obtain a favorable verdict or settlement on behalf of a personal injury client, we do not accept any legal fees in that case. Consultations with prospective clients are always free. To schedule a case evaluation with an experienced auto-accident lawyer, contact our New York City office. Manhattan, Long Island and Queens victims, as well as those from throughout New York, have turned to us for representation for more than 60 years.

We hold negligent, reckless or careless motorists liable for their actions, we stand up to insurance companies and we fight for fair compensation.
