Car, Truck, Motorcycle – What’s the Difference?

Every type of vehicle crash presents unique legal challenges.

Here’s what you should know:

Car Accidents

These are the most common and can involve speeding, texting, DWI, or failure to yield. We handle rear-end crashes, multi-car pileups, and more.

Truck Accidents

Crashes involving commercial trucks or delivery vehicles often cause severe injuries and involve complex federal regulations. We know how to take on trucking companies.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders are often blamed unfairly. We fight for fair treatment and full compensation when bikers are injured due to careless drivers.

Other Types of Vehicle Accidents We Handle

Pedestrian Accidents

Serious injuries from crosswalk or curbside collisions.

Bicycle Accidents

Common in Manhattan and Brooklyn—cyclists deserve full protection under the law.

Bus & Train Accidents

Includes MTA bus, subway, or commuter train incidents involving government liability.

Uber, Lyft & Taxi Accidents

Rideshare and yellow cab accidents involve multiple layers of insurance.

Why You Need a Lawyer After a Crash

Insurance companies act fast—but not in your favor. They often offer low settlements, use confusing no-fault rules, and hope you don’t call a lawyer. We step in to protect your rights, gather evidence, deal with insurers, and fight for maximum compensation.


Because we’ve handled thousands of cases across New York—from the Bronx to Suffolk County—we understand how to build strong claims and navigate both state and city-specific legal issues.
