When people speak of Long Island they are generally referring to Nassau County and Suffolk County. As Long Island Car Accident Lawyers who practice on Long Island, we understand that the population in both counties exceeds 2 million people which means there are tens of millions of vehicles traveling on the road each and every year. As a result of this huge volume of vehicles, whether it's a car, SUV, motorcycle, tractor trailer, ATV or taxi cab there will be a large number of accidents where injury is involved. If you are involved, you need to find an experienced highly skilled Long Island Car Accident Lawyer. One of the first things that needs to be determined is who is at fault. Is the accident a serious one or is it just a tap or a fender bender? When a car accident occurs and people suffer an injury, the general rule is "the passenger can almost never be the cause of the car accident."

Ultimate fault will rest with one or more of the drivers. The Long Island Car Accident Lawyers of Stephen Bilkis & Associates will review the police report, witness' statements and any other facts with you to determine who is at fault. Be aware fault can be apportioned to multiple drivers. In a car accident it can be determined that the first car bears a 75 percent responsibility for the car accident and the second car can bear only 25 percent of the responsibility for the car accident. This means that when your injury is reviewed, if you are the driver of car number one, you will only receive 75 percent of the value of your injury case. Each Long Island Car Accident Lawyer in our office understands the complexities of these types of cases. This understanding includes, most importantly, how the accident affects our clients' lives. You can be sure we will examine issues such as the seriousness of the injury, lost income, medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life and the stress and strain that is placed on the family of the party who suffered the injury. Each Car Accident Attorney in our offices is acutely aware of the law and is compassionate and understanding of the needs of our clients.
