Our Brooklyn Uninsured Accident Attorneys Can Review Your Insurance Policy
Since New York is a no-fault state, you will first go through your insurance coverage to seek damages. Our Brooklyn personal injury lawyers can review your policy and help you file a claim. The minimum coverage requirements in New York include:
- $25,000/$50,000 per person for bodily injury
- $50,000/$100,000 for death
- $10,000 per accident for property damage
You may have also opted for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) when you purchased your policy. This can help you seek additional compensation that would not apply to your liability coverage.
Unfortunately, UM/UIM coverage cannot be applied retroactively, meaning you must have already purchased it before your accident.

877-751-9800Our Uninsured Car Accident Lawyers Can Help You File a Lawsuit
If your accident-related injuries and losses exceed your insurance coverage, our law firm can help you file a personal injury lawsuit against the other driver or any other liable parties. This requires us to prove negligence, and your percentage of fault may also reduce your potential compensation if you share any blame for the accident.
We can conduct a thorough investigation of the accident to determine what caused or contributed to it. Then, we can handle all the necessary legal paperwork.
Filing a lawsuit does not necessarily mean your case will go to trial. We may be able to settle with the liable party and their representatives. Our uninsured accident attorneys in Brooklyn always aim for fair compensation, and we will be ready to represent you before a judge or jury.
You Have a Deadline to Meet When Filing a Lawsuit
If you do file a lawsuit, you should be aware that you have a deadline to meet. According to New York CVP §214(5), you generally have only three years to file. The clock starts ticking down from the date of the accident. If you file past this time, the court could refuse to hear your case.
Our legal team has much to do before we can file. The best way to protect your right to take legal action is by starting your case as soon as possible. Reach out to Morelli Law Firm. We can begin working on your case immediately after you call.
Our uninsured car accident lawyers in Brooklyn will do everything in their power to streamline the legal process so you can recover the compensation you deserve as soon as possible.
We Can Seek a Variety of Damages in an Uninsured Car Accident Case
Your injuries may warrant different forms of compensation. It all depends on the severity of your injuries and how they affect your life in the long run. For example, car accident victims with severe injuries that leave them disabled will incur a lifetime of medical expenses. Their settlements should reflect these future losses.
Our legal team may seek awards for the following damages:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income if you had to take time off work to recover
- Reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from earning the same income
- Property damage, such as vehicle repairs or replacement
- Loss of quality of life
- Disability
- In-home aid and home modifications to help you adjust to daily life with your injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Our car accident attorneys in Brooklyn can assess your losses by consulting with your physicians and gathering documentation of your wages.
Our Brooklyn wrongful death lawyers can also help your family after losing a loved one. We can handle your case while you take time with your loved ones and grieve this loss.
