Motor Vehicle

If you’ve suffered a personal injury caused in part by winter weather conditions, you’re not alone. Car accidents, truck accidents, and slip, trip, and fall accidents all tend to happen more frequently when the ground is icy and visibility is poor.

Although drivers are most commonly at-fault in wrecks involving pedestrians, there are some cases in which the pedestrian may be responsible. If a pedestrian is proven to be primarily responsible for your accident, you may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Avoiding the road when winter weather rolls in is a great way to stay out of an auto accident, but unfortunately, your life doesn't stop when it is snowy, and you may have to venture out. Taking precautions and adjusting your driving can help you prevent many winter car accidents.

However, even the most defensive and skilled winter driver can fall victim to a negligent or reckless driver. In these cases, you want NYC motor vehicle accident attorney, Reid B. Wissner, on your side to help you recover maximum damages for your injuries.

The second leading cause of injury related hospitalizations in New York is car accidents, following only slip and fall accidents. While some car crashes occur due to circumstances outside of the driver's control, often these crashes are preventable as long as you drive safely.

In New York City, there are a large number of buses on the roads, including tour buses, city buses, and school buses. Unfortunately, it is relatively common for these buses to be involved in collisions. If you’ve been involved in a bus accident, you may be approached by an insurance company offering a settlement. However, it usually in your best interest to contact a NYC bus accident lawyer before accepting anything.

People are injured in car accidents every day, often due to the negligence of another driver. When only two vehicles are involved, it can be fairly straightforward to pinpoint who is liable. However, in accidents involving multiple vehicles, liability can become more complex.
