Car Accident Lawyers Oyster Bay, NY

Serious Accidents Demand Serious Legal Support

When a car crash happens, it can throw off everything: your routine, your health, and your finances. Pain, appointments, and phone calls from insurance companies pile up fast. On tight turns like those along South Street or near Route 106, one mistake can lead to a chain reaction with lasting consequences.

Our car accident attorneys at Horn Wright, LLP, represent injury victims throughout Oyster Bay and across Nassau County. We understand New York law and how insurance companies operate. 

Whether your crash happened on Route 25A or in a quiet residential stretch, we pursue results that reflect the full impact of your injury. If you’re looking for a skilled legal team, you’ll find experience, focus, and dedication here. 

Wrecked, Shaken, and Unsure? Here’s What to Do Right Now

Your thoughts may be scattered, and that’s normal. Start with these steps:

• Call 911. Reporting the accident is required under New York law if anyone is injured or property damage exceeds $1,000. A police report can later support your injury claim and clarify who was at fault.
• Exchange basic details with the other driver. Collect names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance information. Keep the conversation factual and brief. Avoid assigning or accepting blame.
• Photograph the scene. Use your phone to capture damage to all vehicles, the position of the cars, traffic signs, road conditions, and any visible injuries. These images serve as essential evidence and help document exactly what happened.
• Get medical attention. Even if you feel fine, visit a doctor. Some injuries, like concussions or internal bruising, don’t show symptoms right away. Medical records also link your injuries directly to the crash.
• Speak to a lawyer before you talk to insurance. Insurance adjusters may call you within hours. Their job is to settle quickly and pay as little as possible. A personal injury law firm can help guide you through next steps and preserve your ability to seek full compensation.

Think No-Fault Has You Covered? Think Again.

No-fault insurance helps. But it doesn’t cover everything. Personal Injury Protection may provide:

• Up to $50,000 for medical care. This includes ambulance transport, emergency room visits, hospital stays, and necessary follow-up treatment. It also covers medications, diagnostic tests, and rehabilitative services.
• 80% of lost wages, capped at $2,000 per month. If your injuries keep you from working, this benefit helps cover a portion of your income, though it may fall short if you earn more or have extended time off.
• Reimbursement for travel to appointments. You can recover transportation costs related to medical care - such as public transit, taxis, or mileage if you drive to your appointments - so long as you keep accurate records.
• Help with household tasks if prescribed by a physician. If your injury makes it hard to clean, cook, or care for dependents, this coverage can pay for home health aides or temporary assistance.

If your injuries meet the threshold under New York Insurance Law Section 5102, you may be eligible to pursue a liability claim.

Insurance Companies Downplay Pain. We Don’t.

Insurance companies often question the severity of your injury, especially if you didn’t go straight to the hospital or there’s a delay in treatment. They may argue your symptoms stem from a pre-existing condition or daily wear and tear rather than the crash itself.

Our team works to establish a clear medical timeline linking your injury directly to the accident. We collect diagnostic images, treatment records, and statements from your healthcare providers to confirm the scope and severity of your condition. 

We also consult with specialists who can testify about long-term effects, including chronic pain or reduced mobility. Pain isn't always visible, but it's very real and we make sure it’s taken seriously.

More Than Just Medical Bills

Injuries affect every part of life. You might qualify for:

• Wage loss, including long-term earning limits. If your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or reduce your ability to earn over time, lost income could be significant.
• Extended treatment costs, such as rehabilitation or future surgery. Some injuries require months or years of physical therapy, repeat surgeries, or specialized care beyond initial emergency treatment.
• Pain and suffering. This covers the physical discomfort and emotional stress that come with serious injuries, including anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption.
• Lasting physical changes, such as scarring or mobility loss. Visible scars, permanent limp, or reduced range of motion can impact both appearance and daily life.
• Reduced enjoyment of life. If you can’t participate in activities you once loved, whether it’s running, gardening, or playing with your kids, you may be entitled to damages for the personal toll that takes.
