DON’T WAIT. ACT NOW.

If you were injured in a car accident, seek medical attention immediately. You may not even realize that you have been injured — and your injuries may be more severe than you think. It is best to proceed with extreme caution for your own health and safety. Symptoms may take days to appear. Not only can a delay in treatment be life-threatening, but the longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to relate those injuries to the accident. Acting fast is in your best interest.

Things to Consider
• Under New York’s No-Fault law, your own insurance carrier will pay your medical bills and wage loss. You will recover from the negligent driver's insurance company for “pain and suffering” if the at-fault operator caused a “serious” injury. A “serious” injury is generally defined as any fracture, a significantly or totally disabling injury, a disfiguring injury, or death. It must cause an objective injury that causes a diminished enjoyment of life or the inability to perform daily activities.

• If your injuries are not “serious,” then your “no-fault” insurance policy should pay your medical bills and wage loss for time lost from work. Sometimes, the insurance company refuses to pay pursuant to the policy. If that happens, you may file a complaint against your own insurance company for benefits.

Benefits of Hiring an Auto Accident Attorney

Being involved in an auto accident can be incredibly difficult and overwhelming, especially if you’re considering legal action to get the compensation you deserve. In such situations, hiring an experienced auto accident attorney can make a huge difference. From dealing with insurance companies to ensuring you receive fair compensation, our accident attorneys can advocate for you and guide you throughout the entire process. Here are some of the key benefits of working with our auto accident attorney: 


  • Legal Expertise: Our auto accident attorneys specialize in personal injury law and have extensive knowledge of the legal system and how the procedure works in Western New York. We understand the complexities of auto accident cases, including liability laws, insurance policies, and statutes of limitations. This experience and knowledge allows us to assess the unique circumstances of your case, determine the best legal strategy for your situation, and guide you through the entire process. We can answer any questions you might have along the way.
  • Gathering Evidence: Building a strong case requires thorough investigation and a solid body of evidence. Our team has the resources and expertise to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the specifics of your case. We can gather police reports, interview witnesses, analyze medical records, and collect any other pertinent evidence to help establish liability and prove the extent of your injuries as we build your case. 
  • Negotiation: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging, as they often prioritize their own interests over yours and may not necessarily pay you what you deserve. An experienced auto accident attorney has the experience to determine the true value of your claim; we will then handle all communication and negotiations with insurance companies on your behalf, helping free up time for you to focus on other things. If necessary, we can also represent your interests in court.
  • Peace of Mind: Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of hiring an auto accident attorney is the peace of mind that working with us will provide. Dealing with the aftermath of an auto accident can be incredibly stressful, especially if you are trying to recover from injuries and attend to your other obligations. By our experienced attorneys with your case, you can focus on your recovery while knowing that we are fighting for your best interests.


Studies show that those who hire an accident attorney tend to have more successful outcomes than those who do not. If you’re having trouble getting the compensation you deserve, reach out to The Small Law Firm. We help clients throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and the rest of WNY.
