Ulster County Car Accident Personal Injury Case Results
No. We handle Kingston and Ulster County car-accident claims on a contingency-fee basis. That means that you owe nothing unless we recover money for you.
In most cases, three years from the crash date. If a municipality, government body or public agency is involved, a Notice of Claim may be due within 90 days, so reach out immediately.
Your own PIP (no-fault) policy pays up to $50,000 for reasonable medical bills and lost wages, no matter who caused the accident.
Photos of vehicle positions, road debris, skid marks, traffic signals, weather conditions, and visible injuries, plus names and contacts for witnesses and the investigating officers.
Yes. Some injuries (whiplash, concussions, internal damage) surface hours or days later. Early medical records link your symptoms to the crash and protect your claim.
Lost income, future earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, property damage, and when warranted, loss of enjoyment of life or wrongful-death damages for family members.
Roughly 90 % of our Ulster County car-crash claims settle, but we prepare every file as if a jury will decide it, an approach that often drives better settlement offers.
Yes. New York’s comparative-negligence rule reduces (but does not bar) your recovery by your percentage of fault.

You can pursue compensation under your own uninsured/under-insured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We handle the paperwork and negotiations so you don’t face your insurer alone.
As soon as you’re safe. Early involvement lets us secure evidence, manage no-fault filings, and shield you from insurance tactics that aim to minimize your payout.
