  • Who Pays If I Am Seriously Injured or My Car is Damaged?
    The insurance carrier for the party who is at fault for the incident. If you are not at fault, the insurance carrier for the owner and/or driver of the offending vehicle will pay for your personal injuries and motor vehicle damage.
  • What Should I NOT Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident?
    Do NOT assume that you are fine. Soft tissue injuries are very common following a motor vehicle accident. Symptoms may appear in the days and even weeks following your motor vehicle accident. Accordingly, it is necessary that you take such symptoms seriously, and seek medical attention even if you think they will go away. Do NOT share any details of your motor vehicle accident on social media. You must assume that material you post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media websites can be seen by anyone. The content you post on social media websites may be later used against you in court. Do NOT communicate with an insurance carrier claims adjuster/examiner without an attorney. Often, insurance adjusters will make an initial offer that sounds great – especially if you are in immediate need of money. However, the offer is generally low, and why accept low when you deserve more? At Citron Law, we represent our clients zealously to obtain the recovery they deserve. Your recovery can start today.
  • What Does No-Fault Mean?
    New York State no-fault law means that your insurance company will pay for your lost wages, medical bills and other medically necessary expenses regardless of which party is at fault for the subject incident
  • How Much Does No-Fault Cover?
    New York State’s no-fault legislation requires insurance companies to pay up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) to cover medical bills, lost wages and other economic damages related to the subject incident.
  • Can I See a Doctor Without a Referral?
    Generally, yes. Under New York State’s no-fault legislation, it is not required that you have a referral to be evaluated by a specialist such as an orthopedist, pain and management doctor, chiropractor or acupuncturist. However, you need a referral should you require physical therapy and/or diagnostic testing such as MRI’s or x-rays.
  • How Do I Decide Whether to Sue the Driver of the Offending Vehicle?
    Should you decide to commence a lawsuit, you may be able to obtain monies for your personal injuries, pain and suffering, motor vehicle damage as well as additional expenses. At Citron Law, we initiate a claim with the other driver’s insurance carrier immediately upon being retained. Following substantial negotiation, we will commence a lawsuit should the insurance company offer a settlement of unreasonable value.
  • What is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Actions in New York State?
    You have three years from the date of incident to commence a lawsuit for your personal injuries. However, you must note that you should seek appropriate medical attention and initiate a claim as soon as possible.
  • What if My Current Lawyer Does Not Answer My Phone Calls?
    Unfortunately, a lack of response in the legal community is common. When your attorney is inconsistently responsive or simply not responsive, you may retain Citron Law to resolve your pending claim and/or lawsuit. Our experience has clearly established that enhanced communication with our clients assures superior results.
  • Can I Still Retain Citron Law if I Already Have a Lawyer?
    Yes, you may switch attorneys without any negative outcome on your case. Should you feel that your current attorney does not adequately represent you, respond to your questions, or provide consistent updates with regard to the status of your case, it is essential that you contact Citron Law immediately. Your recovery can start today.
  • How Much Do I Have to Pay?
    Absolutely Nothing. At Citron Law, we provide legal services and advice for no fee. If we do not settle your case or obtain a judgment in your favor, it does not cost you anything.
  • What is an IME?
    An Independent Medical Examination (“IME”) is a medical evaluation conducted by your own no-fault insurance carrier. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether you have fully recovered from the injuries you sustained in the subject incident and whether further treatment is necessary.
  • What is an EUO?
    An Examination Under Oath (“EUO”) is sometimes requested by your no-fault insurance carrier. EUO’s generally focus on your recollection of how the subject incident occurred and your subsequent treatment. Should such an examination be conducted, Citron Law strongly recommends that you appear with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney.
