At Kelly, Luglio & Arcuri, LLP, we have also successfully represented individuals who have been involved in accidents with uninsured vehicles and underinsured vehicles. If you have suffered injuries in a car accident with a person with insufficient insurance coverage, we have the skill and experience to help you recover for your financial losses, as well as your pain and suffering.
Prosecuting a successful personal injury claim in New York does not begin in the courtroom. Police reports, photographs and witness statements are critical to achieving favorable results for our clients. If you believe that you may have sustained a serious injury as a result of a car accident, it is important to contact an attorney promptly, in order that evidence can be collected while the incident is still fresh in the witnesses’ memories. For other tips on what you should do following a car accident, please review and print our Motor Vehicle Accident Checklist.
Kelly, Luglio & Arcuri will handle all motor vehicle accident claims on a contingent fee basis, which means that we do not collect any legal fees unless you receive compensation for your injuries.* Please contact us to schedule a free consultation to meet with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
*Expenses payable by client at conclusion of case regardless of outcome.
