J.M. got a fast offer after a rear-end crash on the LIE. He called us first.
When the insurer's first offer arrived, before treatment was even finished
What the review, the answers, and the attorney connection cost J.M.
“The check was sitting right there. Rent was due. I was one signature away from taking it.”
Stop-and-go traffic, then a hard hit from behind
J.M. was stopped in stop-and-go traffic near an LIE exit when a car hit him hard from behind. By morning his neck and shoulder hurt, his car wouldn't drive, and he was looking at a week off work.
A friendly adjuster and a fast check
The other driver's insurer called on day three, warm and helpful. On day nine an offer arrived with a release to sign. The bills were stacking up, the car was still in the shop, and the check was right there.
“The adjuster was so nice that I almost forgot she worked for the other side.”
A fifteen-minute free review
Instead of signing, J.M. called for a free review. In fifteen minutes: his no-fault application wasn't filed yet, and the clock stood at day 9 of 30. He was still in treatment, so nobody could honestly say what the injury added up to. And in New York, the rear driver usually has to explain why the crash was not their fault, which the offer didn't seem to reflect.
J.M. chose to be connected with an independent New York car accident attorney. The attorneys we work with charge no fee unless they win for you.
He got advice before he signed
The no-fault filing made it in on time, so his medical bills and part of his lost pay were covered while the case moved forward. The attorney took over the adjuster's calls from then on, and J.M. never dealt with her again.
What any case resolves for belongs to the attorney's work and the facts. What the free call changed was simple: J.M. got advice before he signed anything, and he never paid us a cent.

“After one free call, the pressure was off my shoulders. Someone whose job it was took over.”
