Insurance companies move fast after a crash and what you say in those first calls can cost you the compensation you deserve. Talk to a Long Island accident lawyer first. It's free, takes minutes, and protects your claim.
If you need answers faster, skip the wait — call or text us now for a free case review.
Important: New York has a 3-year statute of limitations for car accident claims - but evidence disappears fast. The sooner you call, the stronger your case.
James and Stephen Vlahadamis built this firm together on Long Island, and when you hire one, you get both. No call centers, no files handed off to associates. Two lawyers who grew up here, practice here, and take it personally when their clients don't get what they deserve.
"They brought a sense of urgency, care, and professionalism that had been missing. They fought for the outcome I deserved, and gave me peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time."
Prior results don't guarantee future outcomes. But they show what's possible when your lawyer doesn't back down.
A free call takes minutes. We'll tell you exactly where you stand, what your claim may be worth, and what to do next.
Zero pressure. Zero cost.
No fees unless we win · Free consultation · Confidential · Long Island based
No. You are not legally required to provide a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. In fact, doing so before speaking with an attorney can seriously harm your claim. Call us first - it's free.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if and when we win your case. If we don't recover for you, you owe us nothing.
You may still be able to recover compensation. New York follows comparative negligence rules, meaning your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you're not automatically barred from recovering.
Hit-and-run accidents can still be pursued through your uninsured motorist coverage. Contact us as quickly as possible. The earlier we begin the investigation, the better.
In New York, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some exceptions apply, and waiting can weaken your case. Don't delay.
