AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Paris & Chaikin, PLLC looks forward to providing you with the proper counseling you will need in moving forward with your motor vehicle accident claim.

We represent drivers, passengers, pedestrians and bicyclists who have been injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Accidents involving motor vehicles account for more deaths and injuries than all natural disasters combined. If you are in a motor vehicle accident, you should immediately seek proper medical attention. Seeking immediate medical attention not only ensures your health but also helps in documenting the injuries you sustained as a result of an accident.

If police officers are not dispatched to the scene of the accident, you should try to obtain the license plate numbers of all vehicles involved in the accident, the name and address of the driver and owner of the vehicle and the name of their insurance company including the policy number if possible. It is wise to refrain from entering into any conversation with the other driver(s). Statements you make may be used against you. DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING OR ADMIT ANY FAULT.

Following an accident you should take photographs of any damage to your vehicle and other property, your physical injuries if they are apparent as well as the accident scene. Take notes on how the accident occurred and any statements the other parties made. If your accident takes place in a dark area, immediately call the police and do not exit your vehicle until they arrive.

If you were involved in an accident, you should act fast. The attorneys at Paris & Chaikin, PLLC, are available to answer your questions. Consultations are free with no obligations. CALL OUR FIRM TODAY AT 212-742-0476.
