We believe every client deserves direct access to their attorney, regular updates, and honest answers. That is the level of service we provide in every case we handle.

Because Steven R. Smith previously worked in insurance defense, he also understands the strategies insurance companies use to minimize claims. This insight allows us to prepare your case in a way that strengthens your position during negotiations and, if needed, in court.

Calculating the Full Scope of Your Losses

Motorcycle accidents can result in both immediate and long-term injuries, which can include broken bones, head trauma, and other life-altering conditions. You deserve a settlement that fully accounts for all the ways your accident has impacted your life.

We carefully assess all financial and intangible losses of your accident, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. By accurately calculating your losses, we can more effectively help you recover the compensation needed to support your recovery and quality of life.

Our history of obtaining favorable settlements and verdicts shows that we are committed to securing results. Each case is approached with the same level of preparation and attention to detail, whether we negotiate a settlement or take the case to trial.

Negotiating With Insurance Companies

We take over all communication with insurers and defense attorneys, so you don’t have to worry about handling these discussions yourself. With Steven R. Smith’s experience on the defense side, we know what tactics insurers may use to devalue your claim and how to respond effectively to protect your interests.

We focus on negotiating strong settlements when possible but are prepared to represent you in court if the insurer refuses to offer a fair amount. This approach helps families avoid unnecessary delays while still pursuing full compensation.

Trial-Ready Representation

If your case cannot be resolved through negotiation, we are prepared to go to trial. Steven R. Smith has over 30 years of trial experience in personal injury and medical malpractice cases and is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey, including federal courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. He handles every case personally and will advocate for you at every stage of litigation.
