When dealing with auto accidents, we often wonder if we should contact a personal injury lawyer right away. Consulting a lawyer who deals with personal injury (specifically related to auto accidents) can give you the peace of mind that no stone gets left unturned. Here are some ideas for when you should rush to a lawyer :
  • The police reports do not describe the accident accurately and puts fault on you
  • Legal, technical or medical issues are involved that are important
  • Your liability insurance is low and limited
  • The incident occurred in a construction zone or area
  • Your insurance is outdated
  • Your insurance company suggests that you did not pay your bills or premium
  • Your insurer involves its own lawyer or firm
  • This accident and/or incident resulted in a death
  • The main issue is of who is at fault
  • An accident has occurred where there has been serious injury (bones broken, back, spine, head trauma, paralysis)
  • Parties were involved other than you and another driver such as pedestrians or other vehicles

Goidel & Siegel won a 2 million-dollar settlement for an 8 year-old boy struck by a van. The incident occurred on a path in Red Hook Park, Brooklyn. The boy sustained a fracture of the distal portion of one leg’s femur. He underwent the insertion of percutaneous pins, surgical removal of the pins and the application of an external fixation device. He also underwent about one year of physical therapy.

His mother sued the van’s driver and the van’s owner, the City of New York. The boy and his mother alleged the driver was negligent in the operation of his vehicle and that the city was vicariously liable for the driver’s actions.
