    Countless people suffer injuries each year because of car accidents in Flushing. The high amounts of congestion seen on Flushing’s urban streets can lead to frustrated and impatient drivers. When such drivers act carelessly or recklessly, severe car crashes can happen.

    Fortunately, there are multiple categories of monetary damages available to car accident victims in Flushing. Depending on the severity of injuries suffered, victims will either file a claim under their own insurance policy or bring a claim against another negligent driver. A car accident lawyer can help explain the options available to you.

    If you were injured because of a car accident, seek guidance and support from our experienced Flushing car accident lawyers by calling The Carrion Law Firm at (718) 841-0083 for a free case review.

    Settling a Car Accident Case vs. Taking a Car Accident Case to Trial in Flushing

    In some cases, Flushing car accident victims will be permitted to file lawsuits against at-fault motorists. In such cases, plaintiffs will typically face the difficult decision of either settling their case or going to trial. The right decision will vary from case to case. The following are the pros and cons of each choice:

    Settling Your Case

    By choosing to settle your case, you can avoid the expensive costs associated with taking a case to trial. A settlement agreement is a type of legal contract that awards an agreed-upon amount of money to the plaintiff in exchange for voluntarily dismissing a case.

    Taking Your Case to Trial

    Defendants’ insurance companies do not always make reasonable settlement offers that reflect the true value of your claim. Accordingly, in some cases, plaintiffs may have to take their case to trial to recover the full value of their claim. By going to trial, plaintiffs may recover additional damages related to an accident. However, if you are unsuccessful at trial, you risk recovering nothing. Our experienced Flushing car accident lawyers can help decide if settling or going to trial is the right decision in your case.

    How Our Flushing Car Accident Lawyers Can Help

    The aftermath of a car crash can be stressful for victims. The injuries caused by car accidents can cause physical and emotional damage along with financial hardship. Furthermore, the process for recovering compensation in a car accident lawsuit can be long and complicated. Our experienced Flushing car accident lawyers can help ease your stress by offering advice and support throughout each of the following stages of your case:

    Free Case Review

    After suffering injuries in a car accident, victims may assess the value of their case with our lawyers during a free case review. During a free case review, our lawyers can determine if you must file a claim with your own insurer or if you may file a lawsuit against a negligent driver. Only victims who suffer serious injuries or property damage may bring claims against at-fault drivers after car accidents.

    Furthermore, our Flushing car accident lawyers can help determine if your lawsuit satisfies the elements required to succeed. There are four elements that usually must be established in every car accident lawsuit:

    • The other driver owed you a duty of care
    • The other driver breached their duty of care
    • You suffered injuries because of the other driver’s breach of duty
    • You suffered damages because of your injuries.

    Proving each element can be complex. Additionally, proving each element may require copious amounts of evidence.

    Collecting Evidence

    Our Flushing car accident lawyers can also help collect the evidence required to support your case. The following are common examples of evidence our attorneys use to prove fault and establish damages in car accident lawsuits:

    • Official accident reports
    • Surveillance footage
    • Physical evidence from the crash scene
    • Photographic evidence from the crash scene
    • Crash diagrams
    • Expert witness testimony
    • Eyewitness testimony

    The process for recovering such evidence can be difficult. Some parties may not be cooperative when seeking important information. Our lawyers can help collect the evidence required for your case to succeed.

    Filing Your Case

    There are numerous requirements plaintiffs must adhere to when filing a car accident case in Flushing. Victims will typically have three years from the date of a crash to recover financial compensation in a car accident lawsuit. If three years has passed since your accident, you may be unable to file suit.

    Furthermore, when filing a car accident lawsuit, plaintiffs must file a complete claim, attach supporting documents, file their claim in the correct court, pay any required court fees, and serve all named defendants. Adhering to all of these requirements can be difficult and tiresome. Accordingly, our Flushing car accident lawyers can offer assistance when filing your case.

    Negotiating with Insurance Companies

    Insurance companies may try to get out of paying the full value of your claim. These companies can hire defense lawyers, doctors, and private investigators in attempts to entice low settlement agreements. Our experienced lawyers can help victims understand the true value of their case, so they may avoid accepting inadequate settlement offers. Furthermore, our lawyers can negotiate with insurance companies so that you may receive the maximum amount of compensation available to you.

    Common Causes of Car Accidents in Flushing

    Motorists should follow the rules of the road and exercise reasonable care while driving. Still, many car crashes are caused by drivers’ careless behavior. The following are common causes of car accidents in Flushing:

    • Reckless driving
    • Speeding
    • Improper lane changes
    • Distracted drivers
    • Ignoring traffic signals
    • Wrong-way driving
    • Failure to yield the right of way
    • Defective car parts
    • Road conditions

    There are many other potential causes of car crashes in Flushing. No matter the cause of your crash, our Flushing car accident lawyers can help determine the proper course of action when seeking compensation.
