FAQs

Patchogue Car Accident Questions

+I was hit as a pedestrian in downtown Patchogue. Do I have a claim?

Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles in New York are almost always covered under the driver's no-fault insurance, regardless of fault, and may have a separate liability claim for pain and suffering. Call us immediately.

+What about an Uber or Lyft accident in Patchogue?
