Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer in Garden City, NY?

Most truck accident lawyers in Garden City work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. The lawyer only gets paid if they win your case, usually taking a percentage of the settlement or court award. This allows injured clients to access legal representation without financial risk.

What should I bring to my free consultation with a truck accident lawyer?

- Bring any documentation related to your accident, including:
- Police reports
- Medical records and bills
- Photos or videos of the crash scene
- Insurance information
- Contact info for witnesses

The more details you provide, the better your attorney can evaluate your case.

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in New York?

In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, if a government vehicle was involved, the time frame may be as short as 90 days to file a notice of claim. It’s best to speak with a lawyer right away to avoid missing critical deadlines.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%.

What makes truck accident cases more complicated than car accident cases?

Truck accidents often involve:
- Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, etc.)
- Federal and state trucking regulations
- Higher insurance policy limits
- More severe injuries and damages
- Commercial vehicle data (like black box records)

Because of these factors, it’s critical to have an experienced truck accident lawyer in Garden City, NY who can navigate the complexity and fight for maximum compensation.
