Alexis was my attorney for my personal injury case and she was the absolute best. She made a really stressful process so much easier on me and was so nice and patient with answering any questions I had along the way. She’s also so good at what she does and of course won my case! Would recommend Sobo and Sobo to anyone dealing with their own personal injury suit.

My experience with Sobo&Sobo Law was great. Funsho Ilori did a fantastic job in getting me a nice settlement. His paralegal Janet Feteke was effecient in updating me on my case monthly or when deemed necessary. She also checked in with me to see if I had any updates on my medical treatment progress and my overall well being. Great care and communication. Thank you so much Funsho and Janet. You do a great job representing Sobo&Sobo.

I had the pleasure of working with Kathryn and Silvia of the Law offices of Sobo & Sobo LLP to close two properties in Westchester County. I am 100% satisfied with the legal services I received on my real estate transactions. They were knowledgeable and available to answer all of my questions and advised me throughout the process, even after hours. If you are seeking a caring and compassionate legal firm, contact Sobo & Sobo LLP. Barbara C.

They really do look for your best interest. They pushed boundaries that I know for certain other law firms wouldn’t have, thanks to that we got the best result we could have had! Thank you for your hard work!! We will be recommending them. – CM

that require extensive medical treatment.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the most common injuries sustained in vehicle accidents include:

Often caused in sudden collisions where a driver’s head hits the steering wheel, the windshield, or by debris from a crash. They can range from minor concussions to traumatic brain injuries that require extensive medical treatment.

These are common in vehicle accidents and can be caused by whiplash. They can range from minor strains to serious spinal cord injuries.

Back injuries are also common in vehicle accidents and can be caused by whiplash or by impact with another vehicle or object. They can range from minor strains to serious spinal cord injuries.

Abdominal injuries can be caused by impact with the steering wheel or dashboard. They can range from minor bruises to serious internal injuries.

Arm and leg injuries are common in vehicle accidents and can be caused by impact with another vehicle or object. They can range from minor bruises to serious fractures.

Vehicle accidents can also cause psychological injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.

Auto Accident Settlements

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses. The amount of compensation you can receive will depend on a variety of factors, including:

  • The severity of your injuries: The more severe your injuries, the higher your settlement is likely to be.
  • The cost of your medical treatment: The cost of your medical treatment, including hospital bills, doctor’s visits, and rehabilitation, will be factored into your settlement.
  • The length of your recovery time: If your injuries require a long recovery time, you may be entitled to more compensation.
  • The impact on your daily life: If your injuries have a significant impact on your daily life, such as preventing you from working or enjoying your hobbies, you may be entitled to more compensation
  • The extent of property damage: If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of repairs or replacement.
  • The amount of insurance coverage: The amount of insurance coverage available will also impact your settlement. If the other driver is underinsured or uninsured, it may be more difficult to recover full compensation for your losses.
  • Liability: The degree of fault or liability will also be considered in determining your settlement. If you were partially at fault for the accident, your settlement may be reduced.

It is important to note that each case is unique, and the factors that determine a settlement can vary widely. An experienced motor vehicle accident attorney can help you navigate the complex legal process and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

Have You Been Injured?

The very first thing you should do is seek treatment by a medical professional, and be sure mention all the areas of pain or injury. Second: call Sobo & Sobo to secure your rights.

You likely have a personal injury if: (1) you were in an accident that was not entirely your fault, and (2) you sustained an injury from the accident.

The Sobo & Sobo “No Fee Guarantee” puts in writing that there is never a charge unless the firm, wins money for the client.

No-Fault refers to the legal system that requires the insurance company for the vehicle that you are occupying to pay for certain benefits such as medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. New York, for example, has a no-fault law that requires the insurance company for the vehicle you occupy to pay benefits even if that vehicle did not cause the accident.

There are different statute of limitations in New York, and exceptions that can add additional time. While every case is different, the statute of limitations in New York for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident.
