Understanding Auto Accident Claims in New York

New York is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own insurance typically covers your medical expenses and lost wages, up to certain limits, regardless of who caused the accident. However, if you suffer a serious injury as defined under New York law, you may be eligible to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver or company.

Our attorneys help clients understand their rights under New York law and determine the best course of action for maximum recovery. We regularly handle claims involving:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal injuries
  • Whiplash and soft tissue damage
  • Wrongful death cases

Our goal is to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the full compensation you deserve for medical treatment, lost wages, and the pain and suffering that often follows a serious accident.

What Compensation Can You Recover After an Auto Accident?

Victims of motor vehicle accidents often face significant financial strain. The costs of hospital stays, rehabilitation, and time off work can add up quickly. Our attorneys work to recover compensation for:

Medical Expenses

Current and future care related to your injuries.

Lost Income

Wages you missed due to the accident and reduced earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

The physical and emotional distress caused by your injuries.

Property Damage

Repairs or replacement of your vehicle and personal property.

Loss of Consortium

Impact on relationships and quality of life.

We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies, and when necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Insurance carriers often try to minimize payouts, but with Phillips & Millman PLLC on your side, you have a powerful advocate committed to your best interests.

Steps to Take After an Auto Accident

Taking the right steps after a collision can protect your health and your claim for compensation. If you or someone you love has been injured, consider the following:

  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Some injuries appear days later.
  • Report the accident to the police and obtain a copy of the accident report.
  • Exchange information with other drivers, including insurance and contact details.
  • Document the scene by taking photos of the vehicles, roadway, and visible injuries.
  • Avoid discussing fault or giving statements to insurance adjusters before speaking to an attorney.
  • Contact Phillips & Millman PLLC as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Prompt legal representation ensures that critical evidence is preserved and your claim is filed within the strict time limits required under New York law.

Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accident Claims

Collisions involving tractor-trailers and commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries and complex liability issues. Trucking companies and their insurers have teams of lawyers working to limit payouts. Our attorneys have extensive experience investigating trucking accidents and identifying all responsible parties—whether that’s the driver, employer, maintenance contractor, or manufacturer.


We pursue claims for victims injured by negligent truck drivers who were fatigued, speeding, overloaded, or distracted. Our firm understands the federal and state regulations that govern commercial vehicles and uses that knowledge to build strong cases for our clients.
