What to Do in the First 24 Hours After a Brooklyn Car Accident
The first 24 hours after a Brooklyn car accident are critical. If you’ve just been in an auto accident in Kings County, follow these essential steps
Get Medical Help Immediately – Even If You Feel Fine
Your health comes first. Even if you feel fine, seek immediate medical evaluation. Many serious injuries, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, soft tissue damage, and spinal cord injuries don't show symptoms right away. Call 911 and get transported to Maimonides Medical Center, NYU Langone Hospital, Brooklyn, or Coney Island Hospital. Prompt medical examination creates crucial documentation linking your injuries to the accident. Insurance companies argue that delayed treatment means injuries weren't serious. Don't give them this ammunition.
Collect Evidence at the Scene (Photos, Witnesses, Details)
If physically able and safe, gather evidence. Photograph vehicle damage from multiple angles, skid marks, traffic signals, street signs, and road conditions. Exchange information with the other driver, including name, phone, address, driver's license number, insurance company, and policy number. Get witness contact information. Make sure NYPD files an accident report. Get the report number and the officer's badge number. If you're too injured, call Karasik Law Group immediately. We can dispatch our investigation team within hours to preserve critical evidence.
Never Talk to Insurance Adjusters Without a Lawyer
Insurance adjusters will contact you quickly, seeming friendly and helpful. But remember: they work to minimize payouts. Never give a recorded statement, don't admit fault or apologize, refuse to sign medical releases giving insurers access to your entire medical history, and don't accept quick settlement offers. Once you hire us, all communication goes through our office, protecting you from manipulative tactics.
No Upfront Costs: How Our Contingency Fee Works
Karasik Law Group works exclusively on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing to hire us, no retainer, no hourly fees, no out-of-pocket expenses. We cover all case costs, including investigations, expert witnesses, and court filings. You only pay if we recover money for you. If we don't win, you owe nothing. Your first case evaluation is completely free and confidential.
Insurance Companies Don't Play Fair: How We Protect Brooklyn Accident Victims
After a car accident in Brooklyn, insurance adjusters may seem sympathetic, but their job is to protect the company’s bottom line by paying you as little as possible. Without an experienced Brooklyn car accident lawyer, you’re facing professional claim deniers who do this every day.
5 Dirty Tricks Insurance Companies Use (And How We Stop Them)
Tactic 1
Requesting Recorded Statements to Use Against You
They ask leading questions to get you to downplay injuries or admit fault. We handle all communication and prepare you thoroughly.
Tactic 2
Making Lowball Settlement Offers Before You Know Full Injury Extent
Early offers are fractions of true value. Once you sign a release, you can never pursue additional compensation. We accurately value your claim using 19+ years of experience.
Tactic 3
Digging Through Medical History to Blame Pre-Existing Conditions
They cherry-pick old records to argue current injuries existed before. We gather bulletproof evidence and involve medical experts.
Tactic 4
Arguing You Share Fault to Reduce Their Payout
Under New York's comparative negligence law, your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage. We prove the other driver's liability definitively.
Tactic 5
Delaying Claims Until Victims Get Desperate
Financial pressure mounts, making you accept inadequate settlements. We're not afraid to litigate. Alexander Karasik is an experienced trial attorney.
Having recovered millions for Brooklyn car accident victims over nearly two decades, Alexander Karasik has successfully negotiated with every major insurance company: GEICO, Allstate, State Farm, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, and Nationwide. We know their tactics and how to push them to pay what your case is truly worth.

Lurline Crowe
I highly recommend this Brooklyn car accident lawyer!!! I did shop around and, surprisingly, other firms that service this area were quick to take retainers and slow to action… Alexander Karasik was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and effective. He took my case on a contingency basis without any out of pocket retainer. He not only got the job done swiftly, he exceeded my expectations!!!

Ambrose Small
Alexander Karashik is an excellent truck accident attorney. When a NY Dept. of Sanitation truck collided with my car at a NYC intersection, I was injured pretty badly. Mr. Karashik was not afraid to file a case against the City even though there is a tremendous amount of red tape. You apparently need permission to sue from the city you want to sue. He stuck with it until my case was settled. I highly recommend him.

Leonel Ali
When I was injured on the job I wanted to find a good work comp lawyer. Mr. Karasik was recommended. I could not collect for my medical bills or pain and suffering under workers comp and I could not sue my employer. Mr. Karasik determined that it was a contractor on the job that caused my accident and not my employer. We were able to collect compensation from third party. I never would have known that myself.

Marie Ross
Mr. Karasik helped me with my case when I needed an experienced truck accident lawyer. He did a thorough investigation and was able to prove that the truck that lost control had driven over the amount of hours as prescribed by the FMCSA. Once that information came to light the trucking companies insurance raised their settlement. Mr. Karasik declined it until I got what I deserved.

Patrick Norbert
I was in a serious car accident and needed a car accident attorney who understood New York no fault insurance law. My medical bills were much higher than my insurance would pay plus I could not work at all. Mr. Karasik was able to sue the other driver and get me a large settlement. I am so thankful I had him as my personal injury lawyer.

I was involved in crash with an 18-wheeler on the Cross Bronx. The driver was traveling too fast and was sleep deprived. Mr. Karasik as my truck accident attorney was able to prove that.

How Brooklyn Car Accident Cases Work: Your Legal Journey Explained
Step 1
Free Case Review – We Listen and Advise
Your journey begins with a confidential consultation with Alexander Karasik. We'll listen to your account, review documentation, explain your legal rights under New York law, provide an honest case assessment, and answer all questions. This consultation is completely free with no obligation.
Step 2
Investigation and Evidence Gathering
Once hired, we spring into action. We visit the crash location, secure NYPD accident reports and 911 recordings, locate and interview witnesses, gather all medical records, retain accident reconstruction experts when needed, and identify all applicable insurance coverage. This thorough investigation builds your case.
Step 3
Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Alexander Karasik presents a detailed demand package to the insurance company, accompanied by a clear explanation of liability, documentation of injuries, proof of economic loss, a legal analysis supporting pain and suffering damages, and a demand for fair compensation. Throughout negotiations, we keep you informed and provide candid advice. Insurance adjusters know Alexander Karasik is a skilled trial attorney who won't accept lowball offers. This gives us significant leverage.
Step 4
Trial Preparation and Litigation (If Settlement Fails
If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we file a personal injury lawsuit in the Kings County Supreme Court. While most cases settle before trial, being prepared to litigate is essential for maximizing recovery. Alexander Karasik has substantial trial experience; insurance companies know we're ready to take cases all the way to verdict.
Timeline: Simple cases resolve in 3-6 months, while complex cases involving serious injuries can take 12-24 months. We work efficiently while ensuring we don’t settle prematurely.
Brooklyn Car Accident Types We Handle: Comprehensive Legal Representation
Brooklyn’s diverse roadways create various accident scenarios. We handle every type of motor vehicle collision throughout Kings County.
Rear-End Collisions and Fender Benders
Common on the BQE, Belt Parkway, or at intersections along Flatbush Avenue, Coney Island Avenue, and Ocean Parkway. While some are minor, many result in whiplash, herniated discs, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage.
T-Bone and Intersection Accidents
Frequent at Brooklyn intersections when drivers fail to yield, run red lights, or make illegal turns. Areas like Flatbush and Atlantic, Ocean Avenue and Avenue U, or Kings Highway and Coney Island Avenue see regular T-bone crashes. These are particularly dangerous with severe injuries.
Uber and Lyft Rideshare Accident Claims
Accidents involving rideshare vehicles present unique legal complexities. Coverage depends on the driver's status at crash time. Alexander Karasik understands these layered insurance policies and maximizes recovery from all available sources.
Commercial Truck and Delivery Vehicle Crashes
Brooklyn's commercial corridors see substantial truck traffic. These accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to a massive size disparity. Truck cases require specialized knowledge of federal and state trucking regulations, ELDs, hours-of-service rules, and commercial carrier policies.
Maximizing Your Car Accident Compensation: What You Can Recover
After a serious Brooklyn car accident, you deserve compensation for all losses. Alexander Karasik takes a comprehensive approach to calculating damages.
Punitive Damages in Extreme Cases
In rare cases involving particularly egregious conduct, driving while severely intoxicated, excessive speeding or street racing, intentionally causing collision (road rage), or fleeing the scene, New York law allows punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
Non-Economic Damages: Pain, Suffering, and Loss of Quality of Life
Physical pain and suffering, mental anguish and emotional distress (depression, anxiety, PTSD), loss of enjoyment of life (inability to participate in hobbies and activities), disfigurement and scarring, and loss of consortium (compensation for your spouse). Insurance companies try to minimize these damages. Alexander Karasik presents compelling evidence showing how the accident has truly impacted you.
Economic Damages: Medical Bills, Lost Wages, and Future Costs
Past and future medical expenses (hospital emergency treatment, ambulance, diagnostic testing, surgery, physical therapy, prescriptions, medical equipment, anticipated future treatment), lost income (all missed wages including salary, hourly wages, overtime, bonuses), diminished earning capacity (if injuries prevent returning to previous occupation), property damage (vehicle repair or fair market value if totaled), and out-of-pocket expenses
Alexander Karasik works with vocational experts, economists, and life care planners to accurately project future losses over your lifetime, ensuring your settlement covers all financial impacts for years or decades to come.

Brooklyn Car Accident FAQs: Your Questions Answered
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Brooklyn?
Ensure everyone’s safety and call 911. Document the scene with photos, exchange information, and get witness contacts. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Many serious injuries don’t show symptoms right away. Before talking to insurance adjusters, call Alexander Karasik at Karasik Law Group.
Do I still need to see a doctor if I feel fine after the accident?
Yes, absolutely. Traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, herniated discs, and soft tissue damage don’t manifest symptoms immediately. Seeing a doctor creates crucial medical documentation linking injuries to the accident. Insurance companies argue that delayed treatment means injuries weren’t serious.
Can I handle my insurance claim myself, or do I need a lawyer?
Unless your claim involves only minor property damage with zero injuries, always consult an experienced car accident lawyer. Insurance adjusters use sophisticated tactics to minimize payouts. Alexander Karasik levels the playing field. Our contingency fee structure means you risk nothing. We only get paid if we win.
How do I prove the other driver was at fault for the accident?
Establishing liability requires evidence: police accident reports, photos, witness statements, traffic camera footage, traffic citations, and accident reconstruction expert analysis. Leave it to your lawyer to prove who caused the accident. Alexander Karasik and our investigation team build compelling liability cases even when insurance companies try shifting blame.
What if the driver who hit me doesn't have insurance?
You may still recover compensation through your own insurance policy’s uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. Most New York policies include this coverage, protecting you when injured by uninsured, underinsured, or unidentified drivers. Alexander Karasik will review all available policies to identify every compensation source.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
No. Never negotiate settlements without consulting an experienced car accident lawyer. Insurance companies make quick, lowball offers, hoping victims accept before understanding the full extent or the true claim value. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot pursue additional compensation.
Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New York follows “pure comparative negligence”; your recovery is reduced by your fault percentage, but you can still recover damages even if partially responsible. However, insurance companies try to exaggerate your fault percentage. Having Alexander Karasik is crucial to proving that the other driver bears primary responsibility.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit in New York?
Generally, you have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, important exceptions significantly shorten this deadline. If your accident involved a New York City bus, MTA vehicle, or other city-owned vehicle, you must file notice of claim within 90 days. Contact Karasik Law Group immediately to ensure all deadlines are met.
How does New York's no-fault insurance work?
New York is a no-fault insurance state. Your auto insurance provides up to $50,000 in basic economic loss coverage regardless of who caused the accident. However, no-fault insurance doesn’t cover pain and suffering, and $50,000 is often insufficient for serious injuries. If you suffer a serious injury as defined by New York Insurance Law, you can file a liability claim against the at-fault driver for all damages. Alexander Karasik helps clients navigate both no-fault and third-party liability claims to maximize total compensation.
What is my Brooklyn car accident case worth?
Every case is unique. Case value depends on injury severity, medical treatment required, permanent disability or disfigurement, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering degree, liability evidence strength, available insurance coverage, and many other considerations. Minor accident settlements may range from $10,000 to $50,000, while serious injury cases frequently settle for $100,000 to several hundred thousand dollars or more. During your free consultation, Alexander Karasik will provide an honest assessment based on 19 years of experience handling Brooklyn car accident claims.
