The Accident Claim Process

Initial Consultation. The first step in pursuing an accident claim is an initial consultation with our legal team. During this meeting, we discuss the details of your case, evaluate the potential for a successful outcome, and outline the legal strategies available. This consultation is crucial for understanding your rights and the viability of your claim.

Comprehensive Investigation. Once we take on a case, our team conducts a thorough investigation. This involves gathering evidence such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant documentation. In Staten Island, having local knowledge and connections can be instrumental in building a strong case.

Filing the Claim. After gathering sufficient evidence, we proceed to file a claim on your behalf. This document outlines the nature of the accident, the parties involved, and the compensation sought.
