Client endorsements for Lambrou Law PLLC
“I just remember a big, big truck. There was a driver who was drunk. I just tried to avoid him and that’s it- I just wake up when the police and fire department was trying to take me out of the car. I was in a lot of pain. I had a broken hip, broken arm, and back. I was just thinking about my family, about what’s going to happen, who’s gonna handle payment of our bills? The expenses, the house, the kids…My wife called him (The Lambrou Law Firm). He right away comes to the hospital. The first time that I met him (Lambros Lambrou), I was so impressed with how he gives you the confidence to keep going. He told me that he’s gonna take care of everything for me. I feel so much better. I see the picture of the day I was in the hospital, and today everything is changed. I’m very blessed to find him.”
“Mr. Lambrou is a phenomenal lawyer. He handled my case with absolute care and strives to achieve justice every step of the way. I highly recommend his services.”
Rear-end accidents and New York’s no-fault laws
New York is a no-fault state, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) as part of their auto insurance. After an accident, drivers file claims with their insurance for medical expenses and lost income without needing to prove fault.
However, fault is still determined during the investigation. Law enforcement will assess the scene and include their findings in the police report, which becomes part of the official record. Insurance adjusters and rear-end accident lawyers will use this report and other evidence to help support your claim and pursue additional compensation.
Negligence laws in New York
An NYC rear-end accident lawyer builds your claim on negligence, which occurs when someone acts carelessly and causes harm. The lawyer connects the negligent actions directly to your injuries. Under New York’s contributory negligence laws each driver could be assigned a percentage of fault, and compensation is reduced by that percentage when calculating damages. In a rear end collision there is a presumption, under New York law, that the vehicle that struck the rear of another vehicle is usually entirely at fault, with few exceptions.
