Motor Vehicle Accidents
It only takes one brief moment of recklessness for lives to be changed forever. Distracted, careless, and downright negligent drivers are responsible for hundreds of thousands of serious injuries and deaths each year. For victims and their families, the physical, emotional, and economic consequences can be dire. The car accident lawyers of the New York City law firm of Proner & Proner have built their reputation on providing aggressive representation to those who have been injured by the negligence of others. We have successfully represented auto accident victims in all five boroughs of New York: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.
The motor vehicle accident attorneys of the New York City law firm of Proner & Proner are dedicated to protecting the rights of car crash victims and their families. We fight to ensure that NYC auto accident victims receive the full compensation to which they are entitled. If you have been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, or if you have tragically lost a member of your family due to the actions of a negligent motorist, our experienced personal injury attorneys can help.
Proner & Proner is experienced in a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents, including:
Car accidents are one of the nation’s greatest, yet least-discussed, epidemics. Indeed, more people under the age of 34 die in fatal car accidents than from any other cause. In any given five-year period, approximately 25% of the drivers on the road are involved in car crashes. Tragically, most car accidents could have been prevented if not for the negligence of one of the drivers involved. Car accidents in Manhattan and throughout New York can be especially devastating due to the city’s heavily congested roads.
Our motor vehicle accident attorneys in Manhattan provide state-of-the-art accident investigation services to car crash victims nationwide, including New York. If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, contact the law offices of Proner & Proner for expert representation and a full investigation of your case.
