What to do next
01
Get medical care first
Your health comes before paperwork. Seek treatment, follow your doctors, and keep records of visits, prescriptions, and time missed from work.
02
Share what you have
Police reports, photos, witness names, and insurance information all help. If you are unsure what matters, bring what you can - Rocco will sort it with you.
03
Let counsel handle the other side
You should not feel pressured to give a recorded statement or accept a quick check before you understand your injuries. That is what your lawyer is for.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do after a car accident in New York?
Get medical attention, report the crash if required, exchange information, and photograph the scene and vehicles if you can do so safely. Then call a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer.
Do I still have a case if I feel fine today?
Some injuries - especially neck, back, and concussion symptoms - show up days later. Getting evaluated and documenting what happened protects your health and your claim. Do not assume a minor collision means a minor injury.
Who pays my medical bills after a crash?
New York’s no-fault (Personal Injury Protection) rules often apply to medical expenses and lost wages after a motor vehicle accident, separate from a claim against an at-fault driver. Coverage and eligibility depend on the facts. A consultation can help you understand which policies may apply.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Deadlines in New York can be short, and they vary with the type of claim and who may be responsible (including municipal defendants). Contact the office promptly so your rights are not lost to the calendar.
