DID THE OTHER DRIVER BLOW THE LIGHT AND LIE ABOUT IT? HIRE A BROOKLYN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ATTORNEY!


It’s so infuriating! You proceed normally through an intersection with a green light, minding your own business - then suddenly you are smacked in the side by a lunatic that went screaming through a light!  Adding insult to injury, the police arrive and he tells them that YOU had the red light. The police calmly take down both versions of the accident and report what you both tell them. That’s when you need a Brooklyn Traffic Accident Attorney at your side to prove what happened. At Wittenstein & Wittenstein, we’ve been helping injured people prove how accidents happen for more than 60 years.  Let us help you, too.

Immediate Action Can Help

If you’re in an intersection accident, and it’s not your fault, take pictures of the entire scene, including the damage to both cars. Check for skid marks or other evidence of how the accident happened. See if there are any witnesses that you could interview on video. When you speak to the other driver, record it, he might admit he caused the accident, then change his mind when the police arrive. This is helpful whether it is a pedestrian accident, bicycle accident, truck accident, etc.

Your Property Damage

When there are two versions of an accident and no witnesses, the other car’s insurance company is not going to pay out 100% of the damage to your car.  If you have collision insurance (full coverage,) the fastest way to get your car fixed is to go through your own insurance company.  If you don’t have collision insurance, you will have to pay to have your car fixed and your insurance company will collect collect money back from the other car’s insurance company.  If you are injured, the worst thing to do is accept 50% liability with the other insurance company because it will impact your injury claim.  That’s why you will need a Brooklyn Traffic Accident Attorney to help you.
