The Pains of an Auto Accident:
Being involved in an auto accident is often far more than a mere inconvenience. In addition to the pain of injuries, concerns about your recovery, possible shock/psychological trauma and financial concerns, there are complicated legal and insurance labyrinths thru which you will need to maneuver.

How we can help:
In our legal practice, focusing on Personal Injuries, we encounter many of the same questions and concerns from our clients who have been involved in auto accidents. Below are some of the most common followed by brief, helpful answers. Above all, we highly recommend that you consult Kamensky – Cohen & Associates as soon as possible before you agree to any settlements offered by insurance adjusters, both those of the other driver(s) involved and your own.

Before you settle:
Sign nothing and accept no checks to cover your property or medical damages before consulting a lawyer! Even if you end up with no serious injuries, it is best to find out your rights before you agree to anything. Only a lawyer will be able to explain all of the legal, medical and financial issues with your best interests in mind. The insurance companies that contact you with advice are protecting their pocketbooks so be careful and consult with an attorney before you make any agreements.
