Spring Valley, New York Car Accident Attorney
The attorneys at Evan Goldberg Law are experienced and skilled trial lawyers, who understand that a quick resolution can often be helpful to clients who are facing financial challenges due to their injury and disability. Mindful of the difficulties faced by victims and depending on case specific circumstances, we might first negotiate for a fair settlement of your car accident injury case.

Evan Goldberg Law takes every one of their car accident and injury cases personally, and that necessarily involves a personalized approach to your case.

Custom Approach to Every Car Accident Case – Big and Small
Every accident injury case is different, so whenever possible Evan Goldberg law will attempt to uncover all the details and circumstances of your case, which may include:
- Review police records
- Talk to the officers who visited the scene of the accident
- Interview witnesses
- Review available video footage
- Investigate special circumstances
- Review all medical records
Our personal injury lawyers will also review any relevant documentation and/or any other evidence that will help us build as strong a case as possible.
Expert Research and Accident Reconstruction
Evan Goldberg Law may, in appropriate cases, hire an expert who would investigate the accident site and recreate the the circumstances that led to the accident and recreate the accident itself by performing tasks such as accident reconstruction, skid mark measurements, vehicle damage review, as well as identifying any other facts or evidence that could help us recreate and understand exactly what happened. This can help our attorneys to identify parties that are liable for your accident and resulting injuries, as well as pain and suffering. Our law firm might hire experts such as an accident reconstructionists, biomechanical experts, or any other professionals who may provide us with evidence that our car accident lawyers could use to win your case.
Identify Liable Parties and Securing Financial Compensation
Evan Goldberg law will attempt to identify the party or parties who are at fault for your injury, so we may fight on your behalf and recover damages that you rightly deserve as compensation for your injury. These damages include financial compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation expenses, and any other losses you might have suffered as the result of your car accident.
In most cases the liable party in a car accident is the other driver but oftentimes there are other parties who may partly share the blame for your injuries. Improper vehicle maintenance by a car mechanic or the fleet owner, a transport company that forces its drivers to work without the proper time to rest, a city that fails to provide adequately lit and maintained road and street surface conditions are some examples of parties that could have contributed to your accident.

Important Questions – Car Accident Attorney FAQ
Do I need a personal injury lawyer to get a car accident settlement?
You can negotiate with the insurance company on your own. However, an experienced personal injury attorney can guide you through your legal options and assist with negotiating a settlement or with pursuing a case in court if no settlement can be reached and may be able to obtain a higher compensation for you. Crash victims should make sure the attorney has experience with similar crash types.
What does a New York personal injury lawyer do?
A dedicated personal injury lawyer cares about people and stays by his clients. He is happy to help them to regain their peace of mind and fights so that justice is obtained. There is no reason to take legal steps and file a personal injury or wrongful death claim alone. A New York victim of personal injury suffers from pain and emotional distress. Filing a personal injury lawsuit or going to a trial comes with additional stress and sometimes even humiliation for the plaintiff. Personal injury attorneys like Evan Goldberg have a personal stake in each case that they handle. Evan Goldberg Law handles the legal work for settlement, litigation or trial, and is trustworthy and accountable. Instead of worrying about their lawsuit, his clients can focus on restoring their dignity, their family life, their social lives and all else that was affected by someone else’s negligence. The experience of being severely injured because of another party’s negligent or reckless action is extremely devastating and unfair. Hiring a dedicated and experienced attorney will help you bring back your joy of life and faith in justice.
What is a fair settlement for pain and suffering?
The more severe your injuries are, the more compensation you would receive for physical and mental pain and suffering. Many factors go into calculating a pain and suffering settlement, and the amount you get will depend on the unique circumstances of your case. The value of your claim is based on a consideration of a combination of circumstances.
What should I bring with me for the first meeting with a New York City car accident lawyer?
Bring all documents in your possession related to your injury. An example would be a copy of the police or incident report, a copy of your car insurance declaration page, photographs of your vehicle and injuries, copies of medical records for treatment related to the accident, correspondence from insurance companies, estimates and repair records and receipts for your car, receipts for towing and car rental, and any wage loss information.
