It is no accident that I do not call them accidents – if someone injures you with their car, it is a collision caused by another driver’s negligence or a poorly designed roadway, or both.

Even the Police do not call them accidents anymore. They are collisions.   And you may be entitled to compensation for all of your injuries and suffering if you are involved in one.

All of the vehicle crash cases that John handles involve fractures, surgeries and sometimes the need for long term care.  Too often, there is a fatality involved.

John knows how to hold negligent and careless drivers accountable for their actions.  John will also hold bars and restaurants that overserve drivers who then injure others.  These are called DRAMSHOP cases, and John has the experience and expertise to find out the truth about your collision and hold the culpable parties liable.

When you or someone you care about are badly hurt or killed in a motor vehicle collision, call John immediately at (917) 797-9520 to speak directly with the Harvard educated traffic cop turned lawyer, who has helped recover $200 million dollars for people injured due to the negligence of others.

Don’t let evidence that will prove your case disappear.   Get John involved right away to protect your rights to compensation.

John’s knowledge and experience in vehicle collisions matters. Results matter.
