What to Do After a Car Accident
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, you may be frazzled and stressed, and understandably so. You may be suffering from injuries or concerned about the state of your car, or the other drivers’ well-being. However, it’s important that you cover your bases so that you have the evidence you need when you file a claim. Our lawyers can also help you gather the evidence that can strengthen your case.
After you’ve been injured:
- Seek medical treatment immediately if your injuries call for it
- Make sure your cars are parked safely to the side, and check on the other driver
- Take photos of property damage and any injuries
- Collect the other drivers’ license plate number and information, including their insurance carrier
- Collect any witness statements
Insurance companies often attempt to evade liability, but if we have the facts to prove the driver was being negligent, we can hold them accountable.
Costs & Losses After an Injury
Even if you are not at fault, a car accident can be a drain on your finances. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, it may feel like you spend most of your time dealing with insurance companies and police reports, instead of focusing on your recovery. Let an experienced lawyer help take some of that burden off of your shoulders.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
- Loss of income from time off work
- Costs of repairs to your vehicle
- Medical or rehabilitation bills related to your injury
- Pain and suffering
How We Help
Attorney Cathy Flanzig leads the firm in handling the intricacies of New York's no-fault law, as well as underinsurance and uninsured motorist coverage issues. In New York State, in most cases, you have 30 days file for no-fault benefits. The no-fault coverage is what will pay your medical expenses, lost wages, and other reasonable and necessary expenses related to the accident.
We have obtained multiple verdicts and settlements for our clients in excess of 1 million dollars relating to motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents. Our success starts with a prompt and thorough in-depth investigation of each case to assess liability and determine fault. Working with experienced investigators we obtain photographs, witness statements, and other necessary information to determine all possible liable parties and preserve evidence for trial.
If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a car accident, call us to schedule your free case review.

The team here is nothing short of phenomenal. I reached out about my case on a Sunday afternoon from the hospital and we spoke before the evening was over.

“I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.”
Almost 4 years ago I was struck by a delivery truck while on my bike and suffered a shattered wrist.

Ms. Flanzig was professional and compassionate and realistic throughout the whole process. I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.- Kathe D. -

“Supported me since DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey!”
Daniel Flanzig was with me on DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey through the fractured legal system following a serious bicycle accident which left me with two broken wrists. The thirteen day hospital stay included surgeries on both, titanium plates implanted on both, and a severe challenge to my mental health and way of life. Unfortunately, I needed two- Marty Keiser
more surgeries on the significantly more damaged right wrist. Dan navigated me through the strained New York City Medical System, still struggling in late 2021 from the wrath of COVID. When the lawsuit needed to be moved to New Jersey, Dan seamlessly transferred the case to Joseph G. Hughes. Both men proved to be upstanding attorneys and outstanding human beings, emotionally invested in my traumatic, drawn-out experience, and committed to reaching the settlement deserved. After matters were resolved by Mr. Hughes, I received a call from Dan, closing this chapter of our time together, but cementing a lifelong connection filled with the utmost respect and gratitude. -

“Daniel & his team handled all the legal heavy lifting & logistics so that it wouldn’t be burden.”
I could not recommend Flanzig & Flanzig more highly for their expertise, skill, professionalism, and care. After being hit by a car, I was hospitalized for a month due to multiple fractures and surgeries and had to undergo intensive physical therapy—during which time Daniel and his team took care of all the medical billing, insurance claims, and legal paperwork so that my family and I could focus on my recovery. Throughout the duration of the matter, Daniel and his team continued to handle all the legal heavy lifting and logistics/administration so that I wouldn’t be burdened, and Daniel was always communicative and proactive in providing updates and answering my questions. Thanks to Daniel’s work, experience, and capability, I received a much more significant settlement on a much faster timeline than expected. I’ve recommended Flanzig & Flanzig to other friends seeking a personal injury attorney, and I am incredibly grateful to Daniel and his team for their continued work and care. Their time, understanding, and expertise mean so much to me and my family for making an incredibly stressful and taxing situation much easier.- Kathryn L.
