Helping Injured Victims After Auto Collisions

At Rafaeli Law PLLC, our experienced legal team focuses exclusively on helping victims of car accidents throughout the state. With decades of combined experience in personal injury law, we know that one collision can change everything, physically, emotionally, and financially. Our mission is simple: to restore justice and secure fair compensation for those harmed by negligent drivers.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, you have rights. Our attorneys guide you through every step of the claims process, from investigating the crash to negotiating with insurance companies and, if necessary, representing you in court. Rafaeli Law PLLC is available 24/7 to take your call, because serious accidents demand immediate action.

Why Car Accidents Demand Experienced Legal Help

The combination of dense traffic, tourism, distracted driving, and complex insurance laws makes it challenging for accident victims. In many cases, your own insurance pays initial medical bills through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), regardless of who caused the crash. However, serious injuries often exceed those limits, which is where our firm steps in to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver or other liable parties.

We help clients interpret insurance regulations, handle medical and financial documentation, and pursue justice through settlements or litigation. Our deep understanding of comparative negligence laws ensures that even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident

A car crash can be chaotic and overwhelming. Taking the right steps immediately afterward can strengthen your case:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Even if you feel fine, internal injuries like concussions or soft tissue damage can surface later. A documented medical evaluation provides critical evidence for your injury claim.

2. Contact Law Enforcement

A police report officially records the event and helps establish fault. Law requires drivers to report crashes involving injury, death, or property damage over $500.

3. Gather Evidence at the Scene

If possible, take photographs of the vehicles, road conditions, skid marks, and injuries. Collect witness contact details and insurance information from other drivers.

4. Notify Your Insurance Company

You must report the accident promptly to initiate PIP benefits. Avoid admitting fault or signing documents without consulting your attorney.

5. Call Rafaeli Law PLLC

The sooner you involve an experienced attorney, the better your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve. We handle every aspect, from filing claims to negotiating settlements—so you can focus on recovery.

Each of these steps contributes to building a strong, evidence-backed case that stands up to insurance company scrutiny.

Common Types of Car Accidents

Diverse roadways, from congested urban intersections to long stretches of I-95, create multiple accident scenarios. At Rafaeli Law PLLC, we represent clients in all major types of collisions:

Rear-End Collisions

Typically caused by distracted driving or tailgating, rear-end accidents can lead to whiplash, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries. These incidents make up a large portion of crash data each year.

Side-Impact or T-Bone Crashes

Intersections are a common site for these dangerous crashes, which often result in severe injuries to passengers due to limited side-impact protection.

Head-On Collisions

Often occurring on rural or undivided highways, these are among the deadliest crash types. Survivors frequently face long-term rehabilitation and substantial medical expenses.

Multi-Vehicle Pileups

High-speed pileups on highways involve multiple drivers and complex liability issues. We analyze every detail, from weather conditions to road design, to identify every negligent party.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

Hit-and-run crashes are a serious problem nationwide, with tens of thousands of incidents reported in a single year, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and many thousands of injuries. If the fleeing driver isn’t found, our attorneys can explore uninsured motorist coverage and other legal options.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Collisions involving rideshare vehicles are legally complex due to overlapping insurance coverages. Rafaeli Law PLLC handles cases where passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers are injured in Uber or Lyft-related crashes, pursuing compensation under applicable rideshare liability laws and insurance frameworks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Call 911, seek medical care, and document the scene with photos, videos, and witness details. Report the crash to law enforcement and contact a car accident lawyer at Rafaeli Law PLLC for guidance.

2. How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

Deadlines vary by state and case type, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Missing the applicable statute of limitations can prevent you from recovering compensation.

3. Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

In many cases, yes. Under comparative negligence rules used in numerous states, you may still recover damages, but your compensation can be reduced based on your share of fault. Our team can explain how this applies in your situation.

4. What if the other driver fled the scene of the accident?

Hit-and-run crashes are common and complicated. If the at-fault driver cannot be identified, our firm can explore uninsured motorist coverage and other avenues to pursue compensation on your behalf.

5. What damages can I recover after a car accident?

You may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation costs. Every case is different, and we tailor our strategy to your specific losses.

6. How do rideshare accidents (Uber or Lyft) differ from regular car crashes?

Rideshare accidents involve multiple insurance policies, including the driver’s coverage and the rideshare company’s coverage. Our attorneys understand how to navigate these overlapping policies to protect your rights.

7. Should I talk to the insurance adjuster before hiring a lawyer?

No. Insurance adjusters often try to minimize payouts. Speak with a qualified car accident lawyer before giving a recorded statement, signing documents, or accepting any settlement.

8. How much compensation can I expect for my car accident claim?

The value of a claim depends on factors like injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and long-term effects. Our team evaluates the full impact of your injuries and fights to maximize your recovery.

9. What makes Rafaeli Law PLLC different from other firms?

We provide strategic, results-driven representation with personal attention, clear communication, and around-the-clock support so clients know their case is being treated like a priority, not a file number.
