Injured in a car crash? You may be owed more than the insurance company offers. We’ll fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Clear guidance after a crash
Busy streets and tight timelines define New York City—especially in Lower Manhattan around Wall Street, Battery Park City, and Tribeca. If you were hurt in a collision on the FDR, the West Side Highway, the BQE, or near the Williamsburg Bridge, Mason Law PLLC can help. As part of our comprehensive personal injury practice, our NYC car accident lawyer handles cases citywide, from Midtown to Brooklyn, with a calm, client-focused approach and no fee unless we win.
What causes most NYC car accidents
From stop-and-go gridlock to aggressive lane changes, serious crashes in Manhattan and Brooklyn have common themes:
- Distracted driving (texting, apps, GPS)
- Speeding and tailgating on arterials and bridges
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Taxi, rideshare, and delivery collisions
- Unsafe left turns in crosswalks and failure to yield
- Rear-end impacts in congestion near tunnels and bridge approaches
We build every case on facts—dashcam and traffic camera footage, black-box data, phone records, and witness statements—to show exactly what went wrong and who is responsible.
Injuries we commonly see
Even “minor” crashes can cause real harm. We regularly see whiplash and soft-tissue injuries; fractures to the wrist, shoulder, or hip; concussions and traumatic brain injuries; spinal injuries such as herniated discs; and psychological trauma that lingers long after the tow truck leaves. For severe injuries like a TBI or complex fractures, Mason Law PLLC coordinates medical experts to document lifetime care needs and future lost earnings so your claim reflects the full impact—not just the ER bill.
How New York’s no-fault rules really work
New York’s no-fault (PIP) system covers initial medical costs and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. If your injuries meet the state’s “serious injury” threshold—such as a significant limitation of use, fracture, or a qualifying disability—you can pursue a liability claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and full economic losses. Our team handles the details, deadlines, and carrier forms so treatment isn’t delayed while your rights are protected.
What Mason Law PLLC does for you
From the first call, we take the weight off your shoulders. We investigate the scene, secure surveillance and 911 audio, analyze police reports, and identify every liable party—including employers and insurers in commercial truck accidents, taxi bases, rideshare companies, and municipal entities when appropriate. We negotiate firmly with adjusters and prepare each case as if it will go to trial, which often leads to better settlements.
Smart steps to take after a crash
Call 911 and get a report. Seek medical care right away—even if you “feel fine.” Photograph vehicles, plates, damage, road conditions, and your injuries. Exchange insurance information, gather witness contacts, and avoid discussing fault at the scene or on social media. Notify your insurer quickly, then speak with a lawyer who can preserve evidence before it disappears and protect you from lowball offers.
Local experience matters
With an office at 11 Broadway in the Financial District, Mason Law PLLC is minutes from NYC courts and accident corridors like Canal Street, the Brooklyn Bridge ramps, and the West Side Highway. We also represent clients throughout Brooklyn—from Downtown Brooklyn to Williamsburg—so if your crash happened near the BQE or along Bedford Avenue, you’re in the right place. Our firm pairs real litigation experience with responsive service, keeping you informed while we do the heavy lifting.

How long do I have to sue in New York?
Generally, you have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit; sooner is better to preserve evidence and leverage.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
You may still recover through uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, household policies, or third-party liability if a company vehicle or roadway hazard contributed. We map every available path to compensation.
