Possibly. Insurance companies pay out as little as they can for injuries. You may want to speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement offer, as once you sign a release the deal is done; you cannot receive any additional compensation on that claim. Our lawyers have experience negotiating with insurance companies and will advocate for you to receive maximum compensation for your pain and suffering.

In the immediate aftermath of a motorcycle accident, the responding police officer drafts a report. This document is critical, as it contains basic information about what happened and who was involved. You will eventually receive a copy of the report. If you notice any inaccuracies, ask that the report be corrected.

The clock starts ticking on impact. You may have only 90 days to file a personal-injury claim and only 10 to start filing prerequisite paperwork. Missing any deadlines—also known as statutes of limitation—could cost you the right to seek compensation. An experienced car accident attorney at Willaim Mattar can advise you.

In New York State, no-fault insurance benefits cover medical bills, including prescriptions, X-rays, doctor visits, and hospital bills, for anyone injured in a traffic accident. But getting these benefits requires filing a no-fault insurance application within 30 days of the accident. We at William Mattar are here to guide you.

You can get paid a percentage of lost wages for work time missed if you’re hurt in an accident, but you must meet paperwork deadlines to apply for such benefits.
