Brentwood Car Accident Lawyer
Car accidents in Brentwood happen every day — on the Long Island Expressway, near busy intersections like Suffolk Avenue and Washington Avenue, or even on quiet residential streets. At Jacobson Law, our Brentwood car accident lawyer represents injury victims with the experience and dedication they need to recover compensation after a crash. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges you’re facing, and we’re here to help you fight for justice.
Types of Car Accidents We Handle
Every car crash is different, but many share similar causes: speeding, distraction, aggressive driving, or impairment. Our Brentwood car accident lawyers handle a wide range of accident types, including:
- Rear-end collisions
- Head-on crashes
- T-bone and intersection accidents
- Hit-and-runs
- Drunk and drugged driving accidents
Whether your crash involved another passenger car, a commercial vehicle, or a rideshare driver, we will thoroughly investigate the incident, determine liability, and build a strong claim on your behalf.
Injuries That Often Result from Car Accidents
Car crashes can lead to serious, life-altering injuries. Even seemingly “minor” accidents may cause long-term complications. Some of the most common injuries we see include:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Burns, lacerations, and internal injuries
Our Brentwood car accident lawyers work closely with medical experts to fully understand the extent of your injuries and calculate the compensation you’ll need — not just now, but for future care, therapy, and lost earnings.
Understanding No-Fault and Liability in New York
New York is a “no-fault” insurance state, which means your own insurance pays for basic medical treatment and lost wages after an accident, regardless of who caused it. However, if your injuries are serious — meaning they meet the threshold set under New York law — you may step outside the no-fault system and file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver.
We will help determine whether your injuries qualify and if so, aggressively pursue a claim for damages including pain and suffering, additional lost income, and future medical needs.

FAQs About Car Accident Claims
What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?
If you’re hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, your own insurance may provide coverage through your uninsured motorist policy. We can help you explore all options for compensation.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including car accidents, is three years from the date of the crash. However, acting sooner strengthens your case.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
Often, no. Insurers may offer low settlements early on to close cases quickly. Let our Brentwood car accident lawyers evaluate your case and negotiate for what you truly deserve.
