Car Accident Head Injury: Legal Options and Compensation

Posted on November 13, 2019 by Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum

Help for Head Injuries Caused by Car Accidents

An auto accident head injury can be one of the most terrifying and life-altering experiences a person can ever go through. Whether you have a mild concussion or a severe traumatic brain injury from a car accident, the physical symptoms are often compounded by emotional, financial, and legal challenges.

At the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum, we understand how devastating a brain injury after a car accident can be. We are here for you amidst all the challenges and will fight for your rights and explore all legal options for compensation.

Understanding the Auto Accident Head Injury

It’s alarming how common head and brain injuries are after automobile accidents in New York. Concussions frequently occur after accidents because the brain jolts or twists unnaturally within the skull. In severe car accident head injury cases, there may be bleeding inside a person’s brain or diffuse axonal injuries, where nerve fibers are torn and cause long-term damage.

Unsettlingly, the symptoms of a brain injury aren’t always obvious immediately after a car accident or in the days that follow. Victims may initially be in shock after an impact or even lose consciousness. Over time, headaches, dizziness, light sensitivity, mood changes, and memory issues can worsen. Therefore, early medical attention is critical – not only for your health – but also to preserve any evidence that links your injuries to a collision for legal purposes.

Why Legal Help Is Needed for a Car Accident Head Injury

Insurance companies are notorious for minimizing payouts for head injuries in car accident claims. But if you suffer a car accident head injury because of another driver’s negligence, such as speeding or distracted driving, you could be entitled to considerably more than basic medical coverage.

An experienced personal injury attorney, like Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum, can help you build a claim customized to your unique circumstances. We can assist you in establishing a case against an at-fault party to prove negligence and demonstrate that the other driver directly caused your injuries and other financial losses.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to for Brain Injury After a Car Accident

After a traumatic brain injury from a car accident, you could pursue a wide range of both economic and non-economic damages. Among these are the following:

Medical and rehabilitation costs, such as emergency care, CT scans, MRIs, surgery, hospitalization, and physical therapy
Lost income and future earnings, if your injury prevents you from working temporarily or permanently
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress, as non-economic damages, may compensate for the intangible impacts of your accident
Long-term care and home modifications, in severe cases, may be necessary if equipment and at-home care are essential to maintain your quality of life

How the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum Can Help

The Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum has extensive experience handling auto accident cases that involve head and brain injuries of all types. We are committed to advocating for your rights and clearly explaining all your legal options so that we can pursue maximum compensation for your losses together.

Motorcycle Accidents in NYC | Causes and Legal Options

Posted on August 29, 2019 by Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum

Motorcycle Accidents NYC: What Riders Should Know and How a Trusted Lawyer Can Help

If you or someone you love was involved in a motorcycle crash, the aftermath of the collision can be overwhelming. This is where the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum steps in to serve as your New York City motorcycle accident lawyer.

We have comprehensive knowledge of common crash causes and local laws to offer tailored legal guidance that helps injured riders get the justice they deserve.

Why Motorcycle Accidents in NYC Are So Dangerous

Although motorcycles only make up a small percentage of the vehicles on the roads in New York City, motorcyclists account for a startlingly high rate of traffic fatalities and serious injuries. In NYC, motorcycle accidents are especially hazardous due to our high population density and the steady flow of traffic at all times of day.

NYC motorcycle accidents are often the result of distracted or impaired drivers, speeding, and reckless driving. Accidents commonly occur due to left-turn and failure-to-yield collisions in New York. Poor road conditions due to weather, construction zone hazards, lane changes, and blind spots also contribute to many motorcyclist injuries and fatalities across all five boroughs each year.

What Should You Do After a NYC Motorcycle Accident

If you are involved in a motorcycle crash, it’s essential to seek medical attention right away – even if you feel fine at first, because some injuries progress as the initial shock wears off. To the best of your ability, document everything at the accident scene by taking photos, gathering witness contact information, and obtaining a copy of the police report.

It’s also important to contact a New York City motorcycle accident lawyer, like the Law Office of Jeffrey K. Kestenbaum. Avoid talking to insurance companies until after you’ve connected with your attorney.
