Car Accident
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in New York. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, intersection crash, highway accident, or a low-speed impact, injuries can still be serious and costly. If another driver caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
William Mattar helps people handle car accident claims involving medical treatment, insurance issues, and lost income. We work to gather evidence, review police reports, and communicate with insurance companies on your behalf so you can focus on recovery.
Truck Accident
Truck accidents often involve more severe injuries and more complex claims than standard car accidents. Commercial trucks are subject to additional regulations, and multiple parties such as the driver, trucking company, or vehicle manufacturer may be involved.
If you were injured in a truck accident in New York, it is important to act quickly. Evidence such as driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data may play a role in your case. William Mattar helps navigate these details and works to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists are more exposed on the road, which can lead to serious injuries in the event of an accident. Even when riders follow traffic laws, they are often at risk due to the actions of other drivers.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, you may be dealing with medical bills, time away from work, and long-term recovery. William Mattar helps injured riders understand their options and pursue compensation after a crash caused by another driver.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one in a motor vehicle accident is devastating. When that loss is caused by another person’s negligence, families may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
William Mattar works with families throughout New York state to help them seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, and other damages. While no legal action can replace a loved one, taking action may help provide financial stability during a difficult time.
Bicycle Accident
Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles can result in serious injuries. Cyclists have limited protection, and collisions with cars or trucks often lead to significant medical needs.
If you were injured while riding your bike due to a driver’s negligence, William Mattar can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation. These cases often involve determining fault, reviewing traffic laws, and working with insurance providers.
Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable on the road. Accidents often occur at crosswalks, intersections, and parking areas when drivers fail to yield or follow traffic signals.
If you were injured as a pedestrian in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. William Mattar helps pedestrians navigate the claims process and deal with insurance companies after an accident.
Drunk Driving Accident
Drunk driving continues to be a major cause of serious accidents in New York. When a driver chooses to operate a vehicle under the influence, the consequences can be severe.
If you were injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, William Mattar can help you pursue a claim. These cases may involve additional legal considerations, including potential liability beyond the driver.
Distracted Driving Accident
Distracted driving such as texting, eating, or using in-vehicle technology can take a driver’s attention off the road and lead to accidents.
If you were injured because another driver was distracted, you may have a claim. William Mattar helps gather evidence, including phone records and witness statements, to support your case and pursue compensation.
Rideshare Accident
Accidents involving rideshare services like Uber and Lyft can be more complicated than traditional car accidents. Determining who is responsible may depend on whether the driver was logged into the app, transporting a passenger, or waiting for a ride request.
If you were injured in a rideshare accident as a passenger, driver, or another motorist - William Mattar can help you understand how insurance coverage applies and guide you through the claims process. It may be difficult to determine who is at fault for a Uber accident or Lyft accident, so let the accident lawyers at William Mattar navigate the claim process for you.
Self-Driving Car Accident
As technology evolves, self-driving and semi-autonomous vehicles are becoming more common. Accidents involving these vehicles can raise questions about driver responsibility, software issues, and manufacturer liability.
If you were injured in a self-driving car accident, William Mattar can help review the circumstances of the crash and determine the appropriate course of action.
Motor Vehicle Product Liability
Defective vehicle parts such as brakes, airbags, or tires - can contribute to serious accidents. When a defective product plays a role, the manufacturer or distributor may be held responsible.
If you believe a faulty vehicle component caused or contributed to your accident, William Mattar can help investigate the issue and pursue a claim for your injuries.
