What affects the price

Legal fees in auto accident cases usually depend on the complexity of your claim. Factors that influence the final cost include the extent of your medical bills, the number of parties involved, and whether the case requires a lengthy trial or settles early during negotiations. Most firms operate on a contingency basis, meaning they take a percentage of the settlement rather than upfront hourly billing. While percentages typically range from 33% to 40% depending on the stage of litigation, every situation is unique. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

If you were hit by a vehicle while walking, you face unique challenges. These cases often involve complex liability issues since pedestrians lack the protection of a car frame. You need legal support when medical bills pile up and insurance companies downplay your injuries. A lawyer helps gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, and police reports to prove the driver was at fault.

Frequently asked in Buffalo

What's the first thing to do after a car accident in Buffalo?

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New York?

New York has specific time limits for filing car accident claims, called statutes of limitations. For most personal injury cases, this is three years from the date of the accident. However, this can vary, especially if the accident involves a government entity. Don't wait too long to get advice. Call us now to ensure you don't miss your deadline.

What kind of lawyer is best for a car accident?

How do I prove fault in a Buffalo car accident?

Proving fault involves gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, and photos of the scene and damage. Traffic laws and any violations are key. We help you collect and present this evidence effectively. The pros we work with are skilled at building a strong case for you. They know what it takes to establish fault here.

Can I get compensation if I was partially at fault?

New York follows a 'comparative negligence' rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault. Your compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, it's crucial to have a lawyer assess your situation. They can help ensure your fault is not unfairly exaggerated.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

If the other driver was uninsured, you might still have options. You may be able to file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage. This coverage is designed for situations like this. We can help you explore all avenues to get the compensation you deserve. Call us to discuss your specific case.
